is no easy task, throw a case of acne-prone skin into the mix and you've got yourself a real challenge. The struggles of dealing withadds a new layer of consideration when selecting the most suitable beauty products for your skin type, especially when it comes to foundation – the single make-up buy that sits evenly across the entirety of your face and acts as a barrier between your skin and the products that follow.
Features such as texture, finish and coverage will dictate the foundation you opt for as will the specific ingredients included within the formula. Skin-first foundations will include brilliant hero ingredients like charcoal to clarify, niacinamide to support the skin barrier and help fight breakouts, and salicylic acid to help unclog pores, and will promise breathable, buildable bases that help control shine, too. Ideal if you ask me.
'You know what you're getting with No7 products - there's a reason the waiting lists reach such impressive lengths. As someone with acne prone skin I'm reluctant to consider a tinted moisturiser - the last thing I need is more slip and slide going on with my oily complexion. But if I AM going to test one? Well, you best bet that it will be No7's offering. The
City Light Tinted Moisturiser feels soothing and lightweight on the skin, melting in easily when applied with the warmth of my finger tips. The none-pore blocking formula delivers radiance, but with none of the dreaded excess oil. It's worth teaming with a concealer and a setting powder for a stay-all-day finish. Gorgeous, radiant skin with minimal effort.
