Oily skin

Question:

I have very oily skin. I wear make up to work on a daily basis. I end up with an incredibly oily face by the end of the day. Can you recommend a foundation that helps prevent or lessen the oil production?

Answer:

Hi Penny,

Steer away from cream and liquid foundations, as they tend to make the skin look moist and oily. Go for a compact foundation in a matte texture instead, it will give you great coverage and will hide any shine from seeping through. Compact foundations are handy; most come with a mirror and sponge and can easily fit into your handbag. You’ll also find that they are mess-free, quick and easy to apply, ideal for emergency touch-ups!
