Will putting foundation over a cut on my face infect it?

Question

its not really a cut, but its really thin, like a scratch.

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Depending on the make up it might irritate the site and prolong healing, but you won't get an oozing infection.  I would recommend using a moisturizer on the area just to prevent dryness or agitation.

Answer 3

depends whats in the make up

Answer 4

yes if cut is open get infect so don,t put anything on it until it is ok

Answer 5

It really depends. You can get a minor infection and not know it. If your foundation is a little bit older (contains more bacteria) or your hands are not completely clean you may get your 'cut' infected. Not seriously though - well unless a deadly bacteria enters your skin.

Just get a cut sealer and apply it before you apply your foundation if your really worried. Or you can clean the cut afterwards with some alcohol(medical). Anouther option is to just avoid putting foundation on the 'cut'.
