When selecting the right baby painting, foundation and skincare, you want an option that is going to work well with your skin. Because you want a more perfect look by choosing the right makeup. This means paying close attention to what your skin needs and what benefits your makeup can provide.

• Boby painting

Water activated face and body paints are easy to apply and do not require powder to set. Simply activate the paints with water and apply to skin. Water based paints are typically more gentle on skin in comparison to grease paint or alcohol activated alternatives, and are also easier to remover with just water.

While oil activated face and body paints can be directly colored, without water activation, strong coloring ability, not easy to take off makeup.

So if you have sensitive skin, please use oil-based cosmetics with caution. And Body painting makeup are generally not recommended for users with skin problems.

• Foundation

Foundation is the product that we need to know more about than body painting. Finding the right foundation for your skin type and tone is more difficult than finding Mr Right! And Foundation is very important for makeup and it has to be perfect. The foundation gives a special look to both light makeup and heavy makeup. Always choose foundation according to your skin type to get beautiful makeup. We should choose foundation according to skin type. Before that, learn about different types of foundations. So what's the difference between oil, water and based foundations?

Water based foundations

They are best suited for oily skin as they are very light on the skin and will not clog pores. You can also use them on dry skin as they provide excellent moisturisation.

They give a very sheer effect and seem like a second skin on your face.

They are super blendable and leave a dewy finish similar to a 'just-had-a-facial' kinda glow.

They melt into your skin easily and look as close to natural as possible.

If you are prone to acne or breakouts, this is a good option for you as it is gentle on the skin.

Oil based foundations

With oil based foundation, the consistency will be a little thicker and will need proper application so it looks smooth and light on your skin.

Oil based products take longer to penetrate the skin compared to water based products. So they sit on your skin for a longer period. This may make these products feel heavy and greasy on the skin.

If you have dry skin, however, using an oil based foundation is your way to getting that healthy, dewy glow. Oil based foundations will prevent your skin from looking dull and flat.

We suggest your stay away from oil based foundations if you have oily skin. However, the oil in the product can mix with the natural oils on your skin and this may work if you apply a thin layer.

Skincare

The basic care and keeping of your largest organ—your skin! It plays an important role in protecting you from outside pathogens. We need to choose the right skin care products according to our skin type, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Just like the above two products, skin care products are also divided into water-based and oil-based. Meanwhile, both water and oil based skincare will bring unexpected improvements.

Water Based Skincare Products

Water is the main ingredient in water based skincare products, big Brand Beauty companies have been telling us for decades that water based skincare is best for your skin using the theory your skin needs water to stay hydrated. The truth is, the water in your product may actually evaporate before your body even has a chance to absorb the water, drying out your skin in the process.

While water based products are easy to use, widely available at a variety of price points, and are light on the skin, every water based formulation requires two things that can interrupt your skin health: Preservative and Emulsifier. In response to all of these common water based ingredients, your body can overproduce oil to try to compensate for the drying effect these ingredients have on your skin.

Water has a lighter texture than oil and is less likely to clog up pores. Water based products used at night allow the skin to rejuvenate along a natural cycle with the rest of the body. They do not bind to skin as tightly as oil based products so they often do not feel greasy. And they can be light and creamy to put on your skin. Water based products can be found to treat every type of skin issue, skin type, skin need.

Oil Based Skincare Products

Oil based skincare products help regulate your body's natural oil production. They can help oily skin become balanced over time and reduce break-outs. By putting oil on your skin you send the message to oily skin types that it's okay to slow down natural oil production because your skin has enough oil now.

Well formulated oil based skin care products help dissolve debris and unwanted oils. They also support a healthy pH and can help correct oil balance for an absolutely glowing, luminous complexion that cannot be achieved by other types of products. This makes oil based skincare products especially appealing.

Oil based skincare products are made entirely of active, skin loving nutrients and do not include potentially harmful preservatives and emulsifiers but are heavier to apply and can cost more.

Understanding water-based and oil-based cosmetics can help you better choose products that are suitable for your skin type. If you have any doubts about this, please contact us.
