The foundation you swore by in your teenage years and maybe even your 20s shouldn’t necessarily be the same one you put on in your 50s, 60s, and beyond. As your skin changes, so should your beauty habits. Luckily, it's not all that difficult to find the best foundations for mature skin. Many are even at your local drugstore (along with these other great drugstore foundations)—and cost less than $20!
The picks in this roundup tackle a range of skincare concerns that arise when you start aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and yes, even acne scarring—because adults get breakouts too. Many of these foundations include SPF, which is an essential for Ree Drummond. As she has gotten older, she has become especially careful to protect her fair skin from the sun by wearing a good sunscreen and a cute hat.
Dryness is another concern that many of us with mature skin have, so check out the moisturizing foundations in this gallery. Along with minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, they include hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid to keep your skin healthy-looking at any age. And while you’re in the market for foundation, you may want to upgrade your other beauty products, too! Check out these drugstore mascaras for luscious lashes and these glamorous red lipsticks.
