Can I still use BB cream after it expires?

BB cream is a commonly used cosmetic among female friends. Basically every girl has BB cream in her makeup bag. Many people do not pay attention to the shelf life of BB cream. In fact, BB cream also has a shelf life. If BB cream is still used after its shelf life, it will cause certain damage to the skin. Therefore, female friends should pay attention and do not continue to use expired BB cream. The following editor will introduce you to some common sense about BB cream.

1. Perform basic care before using BB cream

Before using BB cream, the skin should be first cared for with skin care lotion, basic lotion or essence to make the skin moisturized before applying BB cream. Even though BB cream has certain skin care effects, it cannot completely replace basic skin care products, otherwise it will make the skin drier.

2. BB cream cannot be mixed with foundation

If you mix BB cream and foundation together and apply them on your face, it will affect the makeup effect and reduce its skin care effect. If you want your base makeup to be more obvious, you can choose pressed powder to set your makeup. It is still recommended that you use loose powder to set your makeup after applying BB cream every time, so that the makeup will last longer.

3. BB cream does not need to be used with sunscreen

Good BB creams usually contain sunscreen ingredients, and general BB creams (with sunscreen effects) can effectively block ultraviolet rays.

4. Remove makeup after using BB cream

BB cream is originally a type of foundation. If it is not removed cleanly, it may also cause pores to become clogged. To remove makeup with makeup remover: After cleansing your face with facial cleanser, soak a cotton pad with makeup remover and wipe off the makeup on your face. Remember to use clean wet wipes to wipe your skin in reverse and upward directions. If the wipes are clean, then your makeup has been removed.

5. Different skin types should choose BB cream suitable for their skin types

1. For oily skin, choose BB cream with good oil control effect;

2. For sensitive skin, you can choose BB cream with ingredients such as aloe vera, green tea, and ginkgo; but don’t choose the one with light particles.

3. It is not recommended for acne-prone skin and oily skin. Every use will accelerate the growth of acne.

However, after reading the above introduction, you will have a certain understanding of using BB cream. You must use BB cream correctly, otherwise you will accidentally hurt your facial skin. You can eat more foods containing collagen, which have a health-care effect on the skin. Foods like chicken wings, pig's feet, pork skin, etc. contain collagen. Eating more vegetables, fruits, and soy products are also very good for the skin. Drink enough water every day.
