Will BB cream clog pores? Is BB cream good for the skin?

BB cream is a product that is often used when applying makeup. If this BB cream is used frequently, will it clog the pores? Will BB cream harm the skin?

BB cream may clog pores because the texture of BB cream itself is relatively fine, but BB cream is just a cosmetic, not a skin care product, so after being absorbed by the pores, it will only clog inside, and if this situation continues for too long, it will cause some skin problems, such as acne and closed comedones. Therefore, when we apply base makeup, we should try to avoid BB cream clogging pores.

BB cream can protect the skin from external damage, but it can also cause skin hypoxia, dullness, roughness, spots, and blocked breathing of the skin. Pores are blocked, causing acne, dry skin, fatigue, sensitivity and other skin problems. Try to use less, or use less each time.

The shelf life of an unopened BB cream is generally about 2-3 years. After opening, it will be exposed to external pollutants such as air and dust, so the shelf life is between 6 and 12 months. Try to use it up within half a year. If it changes color or has an odor during use, it means it has deteriorated.

It is not recommended to use expired BB cream. The main problem of BB cream that has exceeded its shelf life is microbial contamination. After the BB cream is opened and exposed to the air for a long time, the active ingredients in it may undergo chemical changes, which will cause potential harm to the skin. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it from the perspective of safety, effectiveness and comfort.

BB cream is essentially a makeup product that contains liquid foundation, so it must be removed with a professional makeup remover after use to avoid causing a series of skin problems. In a strong sunlight environment, a layer of sunscreen needs to be applied before BB cream to effectively resist ultraviolet rays.
