At Poonam Beauty Academy (PBA), the premier beauty school in Nepal, located in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu, we’ve been shaping beauty careers for over 20 years. Our beauty courses and salon courses in Kathmandu go beyond theory — they equip students with real-world skills to handle every skin type, especially the tricky challenge of dry skin, and to choose top foundations for dry skin.
If you’re enrolled in our Professional Makeup Artistry or Advanced Bridal Makeup modules, you’ll hear this daily: “The right foundation isn’t just about coverage — it’s about hydration, finish, and longevity.” That’s why we’ve created this expert guide on the top foundations for dry skin, straight from our beauty school in Nepal curriculum.
Why Dry Skin Demands Expert Training
In our salon courses in Kathmandu, students learn that dry skin isn’t just “less oily” — it’s a condition that needs hydration-first formulas. Nepal’s climate, from chilly winters to dusty monsoons, worsens flaking and patchiness. That’s why our beauty courses emphasize:
- Ingredient analysis: Spot hyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalane
- Texture science: Creams > liquids > balms (no powders!)
- Client consultation: Assess dehydration vs. true dryness
“Our students don’t just apply makeup — they solve skin problems.”
