Great skin starts with balance. When oil and hydration are in sync, skin looks and feels its best. But when that balance is disrupted, excess shine, dullness and uneven texture can take over—affecting not only how skin looks, but how makeup wears throughout the day.
Discover everything you need to know about skin balancing—and how the New Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation helps keep shine down and moisture up. Plus, tips to help support balanced skin every day.
What is skin balancing?
Skin balancing is about achieving the optimal balance between oil control and hydration. By maintaining this balance, skin stays comfortable, looks smoother and behaves more predictably—creating the perfect canvas for healthy-looking skin and long-lasting makeup.
What causes oil and hydration to fall out of balance?
When skin becomes dehydrated, it can overproduce oil to compensate. This overproduction can lead to excess shine, clogged pores and makeup that breaks down faster throughout the day.
What can I do to restore skin’s balance?
Skin-caring ingredients can help restore the skin’s natural oil-water equilibrium. They can reduce excess oil while maintaining essential moisture. The result: a complexion that looks fresh and perfectly balanced.
How does Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation balance skin?
It’s more than a longwear, oil-controlling foundation. Featuring our Double Balancing Complex with AlgaNiacin™, this formula delivers up to 36 hours of oil control while helping maintain moisture for 72 hours. It helps rebalance skin’s oil-water levels, encouraging skin to appear less oily and stay comfortably hydrated.
What are other tips to help balance oil and hydration in skin?
Cleanse Gently
Choose cleansers that remove excess oil without disrupting the skin barrier. Over-cleansing can trigger skin to produce even more oil. A formula like Advanced Night Cleansing Balm gently lifts away impurities without stripping skin of essential moisture.
Avoid Over-Exfoliation
Exfoliating too often can compromise the skin barrier, leading to dehydration and increased oil production.
Hydrate Consistently
Even oily skin needs hydration. The key is choosing lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas that replenish moisture without feeling heavy or greasy.
Start with Advanced Night Repair Serum, powered by Hyaluronic Acid to help lock in moisture and deliver up to 72 hours of hydration. Then follow with an oil-free moisturizer. Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme SPF 25 works for every skintype to provide lasting hydration, radiance and protection with broad-spectrum SPF—without clogging pores.
