Mature Skin Foundation Make-Up

Mature Skin Foundation Make Up

It's important to treat older skin delicately and to choose mature skin foundation make up that will prolong elasticity, help maintain a youthful glow and prevent ageing.

As with all skin types, mature skin can vary dramatically, so there are a variety of foundation make up products available to suit different skin types.

Anti-ageing foundation for mature skin

Anti-ageing foundation is perhaps the most popular type of foundation for mature skin, which is particularly prone to drying out.

This type of foundation can be bought in a lightweight formula that provides enough moisture without being too heavy. For skin that requires a little more coverage than lightweight foundations can offer, you can also buy medium foundation make up that contains light-reflecting particles which cover up any creases and wrinkles, but leaving a natural, youthful look.

Mature skin foundation for firm and blemish-free skin

In addition to anti-aging foundation, there are a range of 'firming' foundations available for mature skin including extra-firming foundation and Estee Lauder's Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming make up. These help to lift and sculpt the skin, particularly around the eyes and jaw line which can often give away signs of ageing.

Fuller, plumper skin

Mature skin can sallow with age. If this is a concern, you can opt to buy matte foundation , liquid foundation or cream foundation formulations available to 'plump up' the skin. These include the active ingredient retinol, which stimulates the production of collagen.

Big name brands for mature skin

Whilst your choice of mature skin foundation make up needs to be practical and friendly on the skin, which can become more sensitive with age, there is no need to give up on your favourite brand of make up.

Many cosmetics brands have each created their own range of make up for mature skin, who all offer foundations in varying shades and styles to suit you.
