So I haven't really been active lately because I've been so busy with finals and studying that I haven't had time to make anything new. So I'll just upload this post that I've been working on for awhile (That's actually pretty much what happens when I don't have time to make a new post. I just upload one that's been done for awhile but hasn't been uploaded yet)
So here's this post that has just been sitting here for awhile now-

Moisturizers and your skin-

Dry-  look for a heavier, oil-based moisturizer. Look for these ingredients- urea, or propylene gel

Normal- (me! except for my discoloration :p) look for water based moisturizers with light weight oils. Look for these ingredients- acetyl alcohol or silicon-based ingredients

Oily and combined skin- look for oil free and water based. Use moisturizers 'sparingly'.

sensitive skin- any moisturizers without fragrance or dyes and is designed for this skin type (it'll usually say on the bottle 'for sensitive skin')

Extra dry and mature skin- nourishing oils, dense creams, and balms. Look for petrolatum based. Look for these ingredients- lactic acids (found in milk!:) ) alpha hydroxy acids


If you're not sure what your skin types is, use this to help you-

Normal skin-

• comfortable feeling
• smooth, even textures with small pores (working on the small pores thing :p)
• Cheeks are the driest area, but not extremely dry
• may have shine and/or larger pores on the forehead, nose, or chin. I have HUGE pores on my nose :'(
• water and oil content is balanced

dry to extra dry-

• feels tight after washing
• may look dry or flaky
• feels rough and uneven
• pores are small and hard to see (lucky :p)
• shows fine lines faster than other skin types

Oily skin-

• shiny especially through the t-zone
• may have large visible pores
• frequent break outs

sensitive skin-

• can range from dry to oily
• Easily irritated by cosmetics, moisturizers, and cleansers
• sensitive and prone to redness
• itchy and/or blotchy

tips!

• use a fast-absorbing eye cream under your concealer
• look for moisturizers with ingredients like; petrolatum, glycerin, or shea butter if your skin is very dry and dehydrated
• Layer different textures of moisturizers (balm, cream, oils, etc. etc.)
• look for oil controlling lotion if you have oily skin
• (I personally don't use this one)- dab or pat on some moisturizing balm onto your cheeks after you've applied your makeup
• you can mix your face lotion with your foundation to make a tinted moisturizer

so later when I have the time I'll make a 'special skin conditions' guide and what you can do for your skin condition. And thanks to Bobbi Brown (Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual) for supplying me with all these awesome tips!
