If you use a water based foundation rather than an oil based one, and remember to wash it off EVERY day then you will probably not experience any problems.

Actually, I always wondered too since I wear foundation pretty often. I know for sure it's not GOOD because you're covering up your pores and that makes your skin unable to breath. So definitely it's not good. I've heard your skin wrinkles sooner. You won't see that happening but what will happen is like if an average person gets wrinkles at the age 60 you'll probably get it at age 40. So I think you should only wear it during special occasions. I'm sure you look beautiful without foundation.

Depends on the foundation. Some foundations clog your pores, the more expensive ones don't. The ones you find in the department stores and from home sales (Arbonne, Mary Kay) are actually part of your skin care in the mornings.

It all depends on your skin and what else you use to take care of it. As long as you don't have sensitive or problematic skin you should be ok. I would recommend washing your face at night and in the morning no matter what, and periodically going without the foundation.

No matter what foundation you use WASH your face at night and use a light non oil based no alcohol moisturizer! Take care of your skin now--it will pay off in the long run.

Not newer foundations. Most are actually beneficial for your skin, they have many ingredients that are a good part of anyone's skin care routine, like sunblock and antioxidants.

it might cause a bit of acne. But wash your face with a good face soap such as Neutrogena or Clearasil before you go to sleep, and you should be ok. Oh, and try to get one that lets your skin breathe. And try to avoid the oil based ones because they might clog your pores and cause acne because they add to the levels of oil in your skin.

I dont think so, it blocks out the harmful rays of the sun, a lot of foundations have sunscreen in them too.
Some people would say that your pores will get clogged but as long as you clean your skin at night and moisterise you should be fine.

As long as you wash the makeup off and keep your pores clear, you shouldn't have a problem with bad skin. Use a good facial cleanser, I love and use the St. Ives Apricot facial cleanser.
