The skincare routine must be adapted according to the needs of the skin at all times. Hormonal, environmental and even climatic changes cause our skin to change and, consequently, we must adjust the cosmetics we use so that they adapt as much as possible to the requirements of the dermis. The same thing happens with makeup. In summer, the skin tends to sweat and produce more sebum than normal due to prolonged exposure to solar radiation. In addition, it must be added that during the summer season it is common for the skin to change its tone and it appears more tanned and brown. It is then when a question stalks us: Do I have to change my way of putting on makeup? Should I change the shade of foundation that I usually use?
Who doesn’t have the most golden skin during the summer months? Whether you are one of those who get a tan instantly or, on the other hand, you are one of those who have a fair complexion all year round, you should use a different shade of makeup base in summer than the one you use the rest of the year. Not surprisingly, the intense summer solar radiation causes the skin to be more tanned and the skin tone to be different; so if you want to get the most out of your tan, change your makeup tone.
In addition to the tone of our complexion, we must also take into account the texture of our skin during the summer. Choose a foundation that is as similar as possible to your current skin tone and that prevents increased sebum production on the face.
The first thing you should take into account when choosing the tone of makeup base is naturalness. In other words, when you apply the foundation there should be no difference between the part of your face that is made up and the part that is not. Of course, the base must have covered imperfections and unified the tone. To achieve this, we advise you to test the base in your hand first. If you get the tone to fit your natural tone as much as possible, you will be choosing correctly.
When applying the makeup base, remember to apply the T zone first and then apply it to the rest of the face in such a way that it blends properly.
