Choose a foundation for normal skin.

	Apply a layer of moisturizer underneath for dry, winter conditions or whenever you enter a parched environment.

	Keep a pressed powder on hand for oilier moments or more humid days.

Dry Skin occurs naturally as you age and the oil glands decrease their output. Dryness may also reflect your skin's sensitivity to skin care products, cleansers, diet, or even emotions. The occasional blotchy patch can result from dryness, too.

Choose a double-duty foundation that moisturizes while helping to smooth out skin tone.

	Avoid alcohol-based products.

	Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

Oily Skin is shiny and uneven. It leaves the house feeling clean and fresh but by noon suffers from shine.

Start with a gentle toner on your clean skin.

	Use water-based formulas for all your make-up, especially foundation.

	A concealer stick helps hide the effects of breakouts.

	A powder is your best friend to help control your oily look throughout the day.

Combination Skin usually expresses its unique qualities with oiliness in the T-zone and normal-to-dry skin everywhere else. Like other types, environmental factors and your body's chemistry may change your skin's balance. Use a flexible make-up routine to help cope with combination skin's many moods.

Experiment with different foundations.

	Choose an oil-managing powder for your T-zone (and other oily areas).
