Question:
Help needed
I have incredibly dehydrated skin - I wouldn't call it dry, but as soon as any foundation goes on, it looks chalky, as my skin zaps it of all moisture, just leaving the pigmant. Not a good look!
I need a new moisturisor to help combat this, and also either a tinted moisturisor/light foundation to help as well.
Can anyone recommend? I don't need a lot of coverage, just enough to even out my skin tone a little, and for moisturisor, I'm prone to spots, so nothing heavy, just, er, moisturising!
Thanks
Hello you :wave:
'd recommend Olay Multi radience the fluid version, very light yet still very moisturising.
Either that or:
TBS Vitamin E day cream, or Superdrug's Vitamin E moisture cream.
I have very thin skin and don't like to wear heavy moisturiser as it always tends to feel too greasy on me.
However these three have all done the job with no greasiness at all.
I can't help with tinted moisturiser as I don't use it I'm afraid.
Hope that helps?

Hiya Ohara,
I also have this problem. But mine isnt all over on my t-zone for some reason!
I use Olay Multi- Radiance Lotio, also I find it helps to put loads of mosituriser on first, let it sink in and then put foundation on afterwards. Dunno if that helps :)
thanks for the speedy replies :D
I've tried TBS vit E moisturisor before, and found it too light :( so I had to apply it several times, might haver a go at the Olay stuff. Its a nightmare - anything too heavy makes me break out, but anything too light makes my skin so dehydrated it also breaks out :head:
if it helps, I'm currently using bio oil (alone) in the mornings, and then bio oil followed by ponds moisturisor at night. For coverage, I switch between tesco skin wisdom tinted moisturisor - a cheapy but quite good, although wears off my lunch, or MAC studio fix, but again find this too drying
The best things I've found for dehydrated skin are Clinique Moisture Surge and Dermalogica Skin Hydrating booster. Both are fairly expensive, but work hard to put moisture back into the skin rather than just making it really oily. If I'm skint, I'll walk past the Clinique counter and slap a load on :o As neither of them are oily, they won't cause spots.
I'm not sure about foundations, as I've never had that problem myself.
