Why does the powder float when using an air cushion

Air cushion is a product that is very convenient to carry and can be used to touch up makeup anytime and anywhere. Choosing a suitable air cushion can keep your makeup from falling off for a long time. Therefore, using air cushion to cover blemishes, hide pores, and adjust skin tone is a necessary step for more and more women to do nude makeup. However, some girls will have floating powder on their faces after using air cushion. Why does this happen?

When the air cushion BB cream has powder floating, a big reason is the skin problem itself, and dry skin and lack of water is the main reason for the floating powder. There are many reasons for dry skin and lack of water, which may be caused by environmental changes and temperature drop, lack of skin care, or too little water intake by the human body, etc.

If you put on makeup with a face full of oil and dirt, your skin will definitely be powdery. If your face is not cleaned thoroughly for a long time, the oil and dirt will easily clog the pores, making the pores larger and the skin rough. In this way, even if you use the best cosmetics, it will be difficult to make the base makeup adhere smoothly.

The outermost cell layer of the skin is the stratum corneum. A moderate stratum corneum can protect the skin from external damage, while an overly thick stratum corneum prevents external moisture and nutrients from entering the skin, causing the skin to become dry and dehydrated, ultimately leading to peeling of the skin and floating makeup.

The air cushion bb cream contains skin care ingredients. After using it, the face will feel very moisturized and produce an oily feeling. At this time, it is usually necessary to use setting products to help seal the makeup and make the makeup last longer. On the contrary, if the air cushion bb cream is not set after application, then it will be easy for the powder to float and the makeup to fall off when exercising and sweating.

There are different types of air cushion BB creams, such as moisturizing air cushion BB cream, oil-control air cushion BB cream, etc. If the above reasons are ruled out, then it is very likely that the air cushion BB cream you chose is not suitable for your skin. For example, if you have oily skin and choose a hydrating and moisturizing air cushion BB cream, then powder will easily float when used because it is too moisturizing.

What should I do if the air cushion bb cream has floating powder?

1. To enhance skin moisturizing, you can use some essence products with strong hydrating properties, or apply a hydrating mask.

2. Cleanse your skin thoroughly and wash your face with facial cleanser every morning and evening. If you are wearing makeup, you need to remove it first and then use facial cleanser for secondary cleansing.

3. Develop a good habit of exfoliating regularly. Oily skin should exfoliate once a week, dry skin and sensitive skin can exfoliate once every two weeks or half a month.

4. Every time after putting on makeup, remember to set it. The setting items can be pressed powder, loose powder or honey powder.

5. Choose the type of air cushion bb cream that suits you best according to your skin type and skin condition.
