Is foundation bad for skin?

I stopped using it and now my skin is much clearer. People tell me that a good foundation isn't bad for your skin, but I don't know if I really believe that anymore. Why is that guys often have much nicer skin than girls? I think it's because guys don't wear any makeup, so their skin is more clear.

Reply:Some foundations actually help your skin. But if you leave it on at night, your pores will be clogged, resulting in blemished skin. So if using a good foundation, and washing your face twice a day, you really should not have any problem. I use bobbi brown tinted moisturizer, which is better for skin than foundation. I put powder over that. Its light and i havent experienced any problems, expecially with my acne prone skin. Give it a try maybe? And boys have more clear of skin because they dont irritate it as much with washing their faces, makeup, etc. But us girls are always touching our faces, rubbing in lotion, moisurizing, washing our faces and applying makeup. Our skin can break out from the oils on our skin and especially the oils from our hair.[[the disadvantages of side bangs..sigh]] Well good luck, hope i helped u!
Reply:Its not bad for your skin as long as your wear a light weight moisturizer underneath and also make sure you cleanse your skin really well each night before you go to bed so that your skin gets a break from it
Reply:You have to have a good solid name brand. Natural high quality also makes a huge difference.





Look into Bee Luscious Cosmetics their liquid powder mineral foundation is amazing.
Reply:i use bare minerals, it is 100 % pure minerals, and doesn't clog pores.it is the only brand recommended by the the national skincancer foundation, because it is actually good for the skin, and has a natural spf 15. the quality of my skin has improved a lot, since i started using it.
Reply:I find that the fewer ingredients in makeup, the better it is. Anything with mineral oil in it is bad.





I think that men have better skin because they don't go through hormone fluctuations that us girls go through.
Reply:foundation is not in any way good for your face it cloges pores and its oily nothing about it is good for your face
Reply:get id bare escentials. it's really good for your skin and the quality is amazing. kind of pricy but worth it!
Reply:i dont think you should wear foundation because it clogs your pores because its thick and it keeps oil on your face. oil builds up and causes acne and skin irritations. i light powder would due you just fine. MAC has good makeup, such *** the Studio Fix and somehting else called somthing powder or powder something it works well too and blends well with your skin. or you could try not wearing makeup for a while or cleaning your face more to keep it free from oil
Reply:Some foundations can be bad for the skin depending on the ingredients in it, and your type of skin. I have very sensitive skin and I use Bare Minerals foundation. It gives really good coverage and it doesn't even look or feel like you're wearing make-up. I order it on-line but you can get it at a store named Sephora too. Practically all my friends use it too and we all have different types of skin, really it works.
Reply:I'm pretty sure that foundations clog up your pores, causing acne, pore size increase, etc. It's not the foundation, but it's like the buildup, ya know? I personally refuse to wear foundation, liquid, cream, or powder. They're too heavy. Just a little bit of concealer and loose, natural powder is good for me. And yeah, guys and kids don't wear make up so their skin tends to be clear and nice.
Reply:i wear foundation and have for awhile now and i've NEVER had a problem with my skin. i think its all in the brand you use and how you take care of your skin before you put on the makeup and afterwards such as washing it off before falling asleep, using the correct tools to put it on, making sure you have the right type for your skin, and putting on the right moisturizer/primer before you put it on.
Reply:You're right! Foundation clogs your pores, even if it's oil free. Not too mention, it actually ages your skin. It's good that you stopped wearing foundation, that stuff is nasty!
