They're Hiding This Truth About Foundation - It's Making Your Face Age Twice as Fast
You cover up pimples, even out your skin tone and don’t even realize that your favorite foundation is turning your face into parchment.
Most products contain silicones (dimethicone, cyclomethicone), which create the illusion of smoothness, but block oxygen access. The result?
Pores expand, collagen is destroyed under the layer of "plastic", and wrinkles appear 5 years earlier. How to recognize a dangerous composition?
Look for words ending in "-siloxane" or "-metricon" in the ingredient list. But there is a solution: switch to foundations with mineral pigments - zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
They do not clog pores, protect against UV rays and are suitable even for sensitive skin. And learn how to apply the product correctly: use your fingertips instead of a sponge.
The warmth of your hands will melt the cream and it will lay down in a thin, almost weightless layer.
If you need to cover up redness, apply foundation and then spot-dust problem areas with mineral powder.
Never use thick SPF products at night - they prevent the skin from breathing and renewing itself. For evening care, choose BB creams with moisturizing components.
Another life hack: mix the foundation with a drop of hyaluronic acid serum - this way you will get a long-lasting coverage without the mask effect.
After a month of such experiments, you will notice that your skin has become smoother and inflammation appears less frequently.
And forget about compact powder - it emphasizes wrinkles and makes the face flat. Instead, use thermal water spray: spray from a distance of 20 cm and blot with a napkin - the makeup will be fixed, and the skin will breathe.
