Healthy skin is nourished skin. If you wear a good foundation that protects your skin, you are nourishing your skin. Liquid foundations often contain moisturizers that serve to keep your skin from drying out during the and help protect it from environmental elements like the sun and pollution.
If foundation is light and provides minimal coverage, your skin will be able to breathe through the layer of foundation. Foundation is simply intended to cover skin blemishes and even your skin tone, so it's important that you skin can breathe when you're wearing it. - Choose your foundation depending on the skin type you have. If your skin is dry, you'll want to choose an oil-based foundation that will provide moisture your skin needs. If your skin is oily, you'll want to choose an oil-free foundation that will not add additional oil to the oil your skin produces during the day. If your skin is normal, you can wear a liquid foundation with no additional oil.

Mineral foundations are natural since the minerals are mined from the earth. A big advantage of the mineral foundations is that they have no harsh chemicals or additives that could damage your skin.
One feature of mineral foundation is the iron oxides it contains. These iron oxides absorb heat naturally, which prevents your skin from drying out during the day. Mineral foundation also contains inorganic compounds that prevent bacteria from multiplying in the foundation. - Foundations that are healthy for your face won't clog your pores. This feature is called non-comedogenic. When you are reading the labels of foundation packages, this is one word you want to see on the package. If your foundation doesn't clog your pores, you won't develop blemishes from wearing it.
