Is Nars oil-based or water-based?
At Skins, we regularly get the question: is Nars oil-based or water-based? In this Short Story, our Skins Experts explain how to recognise this, and highlight two beloved products: the Light Reflecting Foundation and the Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser. So you'll know exactly which product suits your skin type and needs.
Is Nars Light Reflecting Foundation oil- or water-based?
NARS' Light Reflecting Foundation is water-based. The formula contains water as the main ingredient, which provides a light texture and a natural-looking finish. This makes the foundation suitable for normal to oily skin types, and pairs well with water-based skincare. The result: a radiant complexion that feels comfortable on the skin.
Is Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser oil- or water-based?
NARS' Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser is also water-based. This lightweight moisturiser offers subtle coverage with a healthy glow, and is ideal for those who love a no make-up look. The oil-free formula helps prevent clogged pores and allows skin to breathe, making it suitable for sensitive or combination skin.
What is the difference between oil-based and water-based?
Water-based products tend to have a lighter texture and are more quickly absorbed by the skin. They are ideal if your skin gets oily easily or if you like to layer. Oil-based products tend to feel plumper and are suitable for dry to very dry skin. Combining the same base in your skincare and make-up also ensures better staying power.
Which base suits your skin type?
In doubt between oil- or water-based? Look at what your skin needs at that moment. Oily skin or a hot, humid day calls for something light and water-based. On the other hand, if you suffer from dryness or a tight feeling, an oil-based product can take better care of your skin. Our Skins Experts will be happy to help you make the right choice.
