Having dry skin or dry patches can be extremely uncomfortable. Your skin can start feeling scratchy and itchy when you least expect it and it’s because of the lack of moisture and hydration. The cold weather is especially problematic and even the best of creams and serums can sometimes fall short.
When it comes to applying makeup on dry skin, we are often on the lookout for products that do not look flaky and instead, moisturize our skin well. Most importantly, the foundation should be one that is suited for your skin type. Fortunately, there are a plethora of foundations for dry skin for you to choose from. However, steer clear of matte finish foundations and opt for one that is specially formulated for dry skin.
Check out our curated list of foundations which are a perfect match for your dry skin:
