What are some benifits from letting your skin "breathe" by not wearing foundation?

Thanks heaps! 10 points for best answer :D

Answer 1

its good to let your skin breathe because when u put make up some of the make up gets into your pores and that can cause pimples.

If u do want to wear makeup i would suggest the brand Almay. There stuff is hypoallergenic and there foundation also helps clear blemishes. I think it is better than other brands because its not as harsh on your skin like other products. Also it doesnt have any scent to it so thats another reason its better for ur skin.

hope i helped  

Answer 2

Proactiv is the reason your skin is red and patchy. It's too strong for your skin. Try switching to Dove's foaming cleaner, astringent and moisturizer. And instead of foundation and a lot of makeup, try using a bronzer with a kabuki brush to just give a little color in the right areas without covering your face with things that can cause blemishes.

Answer 3

it depends if you use claggy foundation e.g liquid or mousse some powders are claggy too i use one that's really good for my skin expensive but its really soft and doesn't clag up skin its called Clientele their website is something like www.clientele.com i think

hope i helped =]

Answer 4

hi  if you like to wear foundation, try a mineral based one if you are using a chemical based one at the moment. they help to cover up pigmentation and stuff. they are even healthy for your skin.

not wearing foundation also helps.

i used to have a really red face with heaps of blemishes, but when i stopped wearing foundation they all cleared up and now my face is nearly clear.

i hope i have been heaps of help

proactiv was too strong for me, it left me red spots and it made me itch - that could be a reason  and the sensitive one didn't work good enough. you can try mineral make up thats actually good for your skin that contains 100% pure mineral pigments and is free of talc and fragrance - try ideal shade smooth mineral make up + its cheap from avon only $7.99 check it out at: http://www.youravon.com/mdelgado
