    I’m convinced that make up has chemicals in them that deteriorate the skin more quickly when used. IMO, make up should be worn only on occasion, not daily. If it were worn only on occasion, the wow effect would be larger and the skin would recover to age more naturally.

      I used foundation as sunscreen for years and it did, as far as I can tell, a pretty good job of it. I was allergic to the chemical ones available here. The mineral ones were like clown paint. Eventually the mineral sunscreens got better, that’s what I use now. But no I don’t think “makeup” generally ages your skin. Anything that puts a layer between your skin and the sun and car exhaust, probably more helpful than harmful.

      That’s how I do it. I love some makeup styles, but I like it bold and if I’m not going bold I may as well just not wear any
