A waterproof foundation, what's the point?
As its name suggests in literal translation of English, it is a foundation that resists water. It is therefore generally used in a wet or aquatic context, such as a capricious weather, high temperatures in summer to resist perspiration, the beach or poolside, or even sports to hide its imperfections.
Its advantages :
Aside from the long outfit, its other plus is to include a UV filter in its formula. It protects the skin from the sun for a few hours while correcting complexion problems but beware, it does not replace a sun care. Therefore, in case of sun exposure, it is important to apply a care adapted to its type of skin and its needs.
Which waterproof foundation to choose?
Increasingly popular, waterproof foundations exist in all forms: liquid, compact or powder. We opt for a powder foundation that resists water for a light coverage, a liquid waterproof foundation for a more natural result, and a compact waterproof foundation to hide larger imperfections.
In short, regardless of its shape, the waterproof foundation will follow you throughout the day, whatever happens.
How to cleanse your skin of a waterproof foundation?
Who says water resistant also says more resistant to the classic make-up remover. For example, micellar water will be too light to remove all residues from the waterproof foundation. We will prefer a milk or a cleansing oil for their dissolving and enveloping fatty substances. And we can even use a cleaning gel if the need is felt.
