Matte Finish: Foundations with a matte finish can help absorb excess oil and give your skin a smoother and even appearance. Avoid foundations with a dewy or luminous finish, as these can make your skin look greasy.
Full Coverage: If you have severe acne or blemishes to conceal, consider a full-coverage foundation. However, you want to ensure it's breathable for your skin.
Mineral Foundations: Mineral foundations often contain natural ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which can have soothing properties and also provide sun protection.
Hypoallergenic: Look for foundations labeled as "hypoallergenic." These are formulated to minimize the risk of triggering allergic reactions.
Fragrance + Paraben Free : Fragrances and parabens can be extremely irritating to the skin. Parabens can disrupt hormones in the body and possibly lead to hormonal acne. Choosing a fragrance + paraben free foundation can help prevent further irritation.
Test Before Purchase: Whenever possible, get a sample or tester of the foundation you're interested in and test it on a small patch of skin to see if it causes any irritations or sensitivities.
