The blotchiness and patchiness that appears in skin with age is much more aging than lines and wrinkles.
Many women try to fill in the cracks of wrinkles by using extra foundation in an attempt to cover the lines, but this is ineffective, and only serves to make the problem more noticeable. Using any foundation that has been formulated to smooth and even out the skin tone, as well as decrease the appearance of pigmentation and sun damage, is much more effective, and gives the appearance of youthful skin in a natural way.
The other sign of aging skin is the loss of luminosity. This is caused by the skin starting to loosen, so that light no longer bounces off the flat, tight skin cells, but is absorbed instead. This means that the glow of more youthful skin is lost. Anti-aging foundations will help to replace that glow by giving a brightness to your skin, and allowing light to bounce off it.
A good anti-aging foundation is thin and smoothing, and when applied to the skin, it still looks natural. Using a thick “cover up” foundation that sits in the cracks of the skin, is actually more aging, and looks like a deliberate attempt to hide wrinkles. In contrast, a thin, specially formulated anti-aging foundation will focus on smoothing the color and texture of the skin, while providing a luminosity which gives the appearance of much younger, healthier skin.
One of the benefits of using a good foundation is that it helps to protect the skin from aging elements such as wind and sun while giving a smooth, luminous, youthful appearance to the texture of the skin.The thinner the foundation, the better and the smoother the effect will be.
Some anti-aging products have light reflecting particles, which give an extra glow. It’s important to match not only the color, with your own individual complexion, but also, the characteristics of the foundation itself. Take some time to research what the main benefits are of each product. The end result you’re looking for is skin that looks flawless with a youthful appearance.
When considering the various anti aging foundation products on the market, the first two points to check is that the foundation is thin and smooth, and that it contains something that will add luminosity to your skin. Once you have a list of products that tick those two boxes, it’s a case of matching the other benefits with your particular skin type, and of course, checking up on the feedback of those who are already using it.
