Is concealer and foundation bad for your skin?

I want to use concealer but I heard its bad for your skin and so is foundation. I don't want to get more acne. So is it really bad for your skin? And I use the CoverGirl-clean make up one.





So please help me out. Thanks :)Is concealer and foundation bad for your skin?
Well that depends really. Anything you put on your face (that is not an oil free lotion) can lead to acne depending on how prone you are to breaking out. If you really want to cover up blemishes though, you need to look into mineral make up. It's natural and does not clog up your skin. Your dermatologist might even be able to recommend some that will also help clear up acne while covering it up.





Some stores, mainly your grocery store or local pharmacy can offer you a lower quality mineral make up. Those you buy from the grocery store or pharmacy are only a tad bit better than plain concealer/foundation.





If you are very concerned, then you need to spend the extra buck at a department store or make up store such as a Sephora. ';Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals'; is one example of a brand of mineral make up. It lasts much longer than plain make up though it does cost more. So in the end you are paying about the same (ie, bare mineral make up is the cost of two things of plain make up but mineral make up lasts twice as long)





So it's all up to you and how much you are willing to spend. The least you can do for yourself though is move to the grocery store brand minerals.





Good luck =)Is concealer and foundation bad for your skin?
using concealer and foundation is perfectly fine to wear during the day, as long as you completely wash it off your face at night.


some concealers or foundations might break you out if you have sensitive skin, if so, then you'll have to try out various ones to see which works best for your skin.


but if you don't have sensitive skin, then you're perfectly fine.
Its only bad if you dont wash it off at night before you go to bed. It will give you wrinkle over time and possibly acne. Sooo, just wash it off. And wash your face 2 times. First time gets the makeup off, and second cleanses the skin. Trick i learned from Petrilude :)

It depends what kind of skin you have, my mom says that i should only wear concealer/foundation when im going out and want to look fancy. Otherwise you should let your skin breathe, because concealer and foundation can clog your pores.
It depends on the brand you use. Cheap brands often have harsh ingredients and not enough money to do research. I recommend bare minerals for both. The starter kit is a great value and lasts a really long time and it's actually good for your skin.
You should use something called a primer. It helps set your face %26amp; protect your skin. Not all foundations clog your pores. Read the description before you buy it so you know if it's good for you or not.
foundation is cakey and clogs pores therefore its bad for your skin





you need to use mineral makeup it's light and better if you have acne
use neutragena oil free foundation. It gives your skin a flawless look and doesn't clog pores. Its really nice, it actually is suppost to fight pimples, zits and acne
Yeah, that's why every girl in the world has been using it for 200 years.





Because it's bad for your skin.
Yea it clogs your pores which causes breakouts.
