Brit + Co: Best Foundations & Moisturizers for Aging Skin

Dr. Green was asked about the best foundations and moisturizers for aging skin in Brit + Co this week in a two part series that looks at some of the top products. She talks about different types of foundations and how they work for people as they age through the years, along with what to look for overall.

For instance, high-coverage foundations, can create a cakey look. “The cakey look when using foundation on mature skin can be attributed to several factors. Often, it’s due to the use of too much product, which can sit unevenly on the skin, creating a thick, unnatural appearance,” she explains. “Thicker, full-coverage foundations usually cause a cakey look. The cakey look often occurs for mature skin because the foundation gets trapped in wrinkles and fine lines.” And as for moisturizers, look for effective ingredients such as Retinoids, vitamin C, and SPF when purchasing.
