If you have problem skin, wearing foundation is a necessary evil.
You
don't feel comfortable leaving the house without it on, but the problem
is that if you wear it every day, it clogs your pores—big time. There's
no way around it: Makeup is not good for your skin, but if you choose
correctly, it doesn't have to make it worse. That's precisely why you
should look for formulas that are oil-free, derm-recommended and contain
good-for-your-skin ingredients.
And no, you don't have to spend a fortune to get what you're looking for.
But, hey, if you do like to splurge on your makeup selects, there are designer foundations out there, too.
