How to determine what Foundation to use

How to determine what Foundation to use

How to determine what Foundation to useIn the May 2015 edition of Dr. Oz The Good Life, I ran across an article on finding your skin perfector. I thought it might be fun to use this guide to see how Avon stacks up.

The first question determines whether you need to look at section 1 or 2. If you have wrinkles and sunspots go to section 1, if not go to section 2.

Section 1) Do you have wrinkles or sunspots? If yes, start here —

You need a medium to full coverage Foundation to hide imperfections. Let’s start here: Avon has Anew Age-Transforming Foundation that improves texture and clarity and has SPF 15. This Foundation has Anew skin care technology to outsmart the look of aging. It is a full coverage Foundation. Second question:

What kind of skin do you have? Oily, Normal/Combo or Dry Skin?

If you have Oily Skin …

Do you have breakouts?

If you answered Yes, use a light weight liquid with a salicytic acid for acne and a silica to absorb oil. Avon has Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation SPF 15 with steraric acid and edta talc for absorption.

If you answered No, a powder foundation will work fine. Avon has Ideal Flawless Pressed Powder that’s perfect for this.

If you have Normal/Combo Skin …

Do you have a shiny T-zone?

If you answered Yes, look for lightweight liquid with a matte finish to stop shine. Avon has Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation SPF 15 with edta talc for absorption.

If you answered No, pick a creamy sheer formula to even out any splotchiness. Avon has Magix Face Perfector SPF 20 for this skin type. This is a perfector that is air-light and colorless. It has light defusing technology and banishes shine for 7 hours.

If you Dry Skin …

Does your skin look dull?

If you answered Yes, use a tinted primer with light reflectors that hydrates and helps you glow. Avon has Magix Face Perfector SPF 20 and Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation to keep your skin fresh up to 18 hours.

If you answered No, use a light colored liquid that will leave skin dewy. Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation SPF 15 will work for you.

Section 2) Do you have wrinkles or sunspots? If no, start here —

What kind of Skin do you have? Oily, Normal/Combo, Dry.

If you have Oily Skin …

Do you have breakouts?

If you answered Yes, you need a medium coverage liquid with acid to fight breakouts. Avon has Ideal Flawless invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation SPF 15 for you.

If you answered No, a foundation containing very fine clay absorbs oil but won’t settle into lines is what you need. Avon has Smooth Minerals Foundation for Medium coverage and it also makes your skin looks healthier.

If you have Normal/Combo skin …

Do you have a shiny T-zone?

If you answered Yes, use Mattifying ingredients to thwart shine, creamy texture helps dry spots. Avon has Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Cream-to-Powder Foundation for shiny T-zone. Creamy texture but not oily. Leaves a matte finish.

If you answered No, use something with ceremides to plump lines and vitamin C to even tone. Avon has Anew Age-Transforming Foundation SPF 15 for Normal/Combo skin without the shiny T-zone.

If you have Dry skin …

Does your skin look dull?

If you answered Yes, use a luminizing fluid that is light reflecting. Magix Face Perfector SPF 20 and Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation work well for dry, dull skin.

If you answered No, full coverage liquid with moisture is the answer. Avon has Anew Age-Transforming Foundation SPF 15 just for you.
In addition to the products listed above, Avon also has a BB Cream Beauty Balm – foundation that’s good for the skin. Helps soften skin as you wear it. It is a CC Cream – color correcting, so it helps fade dark spots and guard against new ones with SPF 50. Both are light to medium coverage.

Great. Hopefully you now have a good idea as to the formula you need to use. Let’s talk about the color. Each type of foundation has a color chart under the product listed in the brochure. Hold the chart up to your arm. Turn your arm palm facing up. The color should match where the darkest and lightest part of your arm meets. That’s the best way to pick a color. When you put it on your face, it should blend in. You should not be able to tell you have put on any foundation. It should blend into your face without a line.

Hope this helps. I do have some foundation samples if you are interested. Just let me know light, medium or dark.

Living Safely with your Beauty Products

The more moisture your beauty products have, the greater the potential for bacterial growth. With this in mind, there are safety measures to take when maintaining and using your beauty products.

Mascara – How often should I replace my Mascara? Always ditch the mascara 2-3 months after opening. It is especially vulnerable because it’s a liquid. It’s a multiple problem because we stick the mascara wand back into the liquid multiple times. Use a small return address label and write the date you are opening your mascara. Apply the label directly to the mascara. That way you can see the date each time you pick it up.Big & Daring Volume MascaraLip Products – Don’t keep your lip products past 6 months. Again you have the multiple dipping issue. If you get a cold sore and you have used a lip product – trash it. Using a lip product that has been exposed to a cold sore is a sure way to spread bacteria.

Liquid Foundation – Still a pretty high risk for bacteria. Should be ok for 6 months up to 1 year. Pour the foundation into your hand rather than putting your finger over the top of the mouth of the bottle. Letting in touch your finger and then some of the liquid going back down into the bottle can spread germs and bacteria. Because it is in liquid form, bacteria tends to multiply.

Hair Care Products – Because you rinse them away, there is less chance of any contamination with these products. If it starts to look or smell funny – toss it.

Nail Polishes – Most nail polish will have an expiration date. Don’t keep any polish past the expiration date. Both bacterial and fungal infections can be a problem with nail care. Make sure you are using products well within their “good until” dates. Clean clippers & files regularly. Throw away rusty or corroded utensils. Replace paper files occasionally.

Powders (blush & foundations) – Keep from 1-2 years. Much less risk of bacteria because of lack of moisture. The brushes you use to apply them are a different story. Both strep and staph can be growing in those brushes. Use a brush cleaner to clean your brushes periodically (the more often you use your brushes, the more often you should clean them).

Facial Creams – Moisturizers and specialty treatment products that are cream based can and do collect and multiply bacteria. It’s a really good idea to use a spatula (beauty spatula) or cotton swab to dip into your face cream. Put what you need on your hand and close the jar. Double dipping into your face creams is just asking for problems. Wash your hands before starting your facial regimen.

Following these steps will help make your daily hygiene and beauty regimen even safer and cleaner. Which is the point. Who wants to go through all their beauty steps only to put tainted product on their skin? I think you will feel even better knowing you took extra measures to keep you and your skin healthy. After all, the skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin of an average adult has a surface area of over 21 square feet and accounts for 6% to 10% of your body weight. That’s your fact for the day. See ya soon!
