What to do if powder comes loose on face after applying BB cream

BB cream was introduced to my country from South Korea in recent years and has gradually become popular. Female friends are very familiar with BB cream. Almost every woman who wears makeup has one or even dozens of BB creams. BB cream is mainly used to cover blemishes, making the skin look fair and tender and making some small blemishes disappear. But we found that some BB creams will appear powdery after application. What’s going on?

How to deal with floating powder of BB cream

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.

Why does BB cream float?

1. Dry and dehydrated skin

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.

2. Incomplete skin cleansing

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.

3. The stratum corneum is too thick

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.

4. No makeup setting after base makeup is applied

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.

Using an inappropriate air cushion BB cream

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.
