Balancing Act
What is combination skin? Combination skin is changeable. It can be oily in some places, dry in others changing from season to season or even day to day. Foundation needs to bring skin into a balance to achieve a flawless healthy look. Celeste Lutratio, Director Research and Development at Elizabeth Arden, explains "In combination skin, the degree of oiliness tends to vary on different areas of the face, with more shine in the T-zone, that is, on the forehead, nose and chin. Other areas, usually the cheek, can be drier. Our new makeup is designed to normalise the entire face between oily and dry areas, so skin looks smooth, healthy and shine free allover"
First, oil balance. Excess oil can cause makeup to look uneven and blotchy. To counter excess shine, Skin Balancing Makeup included ultra fine kaolin and silica particle that absorb and diffuse excess oil, without drying skin. The result is shine control, less visible pores, clearer looking skin.
Help for dry areas comes in several ways, according to Celeste Lutrario. "First there is water in the formula itself, and specially coated moisture binding ingredients also bring additional hydration to skin. This helps skin stay smooth and fresh looking. And of course the formula is oil-free, because the last thing combination needs is more oil."
In addition the makeup contains microlight particles, which diffuse light and blur the appearance of fine lines and imperfections and give a more even looking texture and tone.
Skin Balancing Botanicals
Unique to the Skin Balancing formula is a complex of botanicals including extracts of eyebright, horsetail, silk bark and gentian that work together to keep excess shine in check and pores clear, hydrate and soothe - everything combination skin needs to look its best. In addition vitamin E conditions skin and helps to protect from environmental damage.
