A lot of people makes such comments dat using powder regularly makes d face vry smooth. My saloon guy 4 example has a vry smooth face n he always insist is because he uses powder regularly. Well 4 me i disagree. I don't exactly have smooth face cos av got sum pimples giving me concerns. Due 2 dis pimples, i wash my face two to four times daily n use d powder as regularly as i can come in contact wit it. Yet Smooth face no gree come.

Am not a fan of medication or creams 2 get smooth face, but i can tell u dat powder is definitely not one of those tins dat can give u smooth face.

IMO it only makes it smooth for the time being. constant application can lead to wrinkles or even acne. maybe your salon guy is using some facial cleanser or something.

yea ppl say that because it acts as a barrier and protects against sun damage that causes wrinkles
but it doesn't work for pimples. in fact, if u have oily skin, it may work against u since powder will just clog ur pores.
otherwise, it's good for preventing wrinkles and rough skin dat the sun causes

viciyke, u wash ur face too much. 1-2 times is enough.

I agree with Oyinda. I think you may be washing your face too much and that might be aggravating your pimple issues. 2ce a day is usually more than enough, otherwise your skin gets irritated and produces more oil under the skin which clogs ur pores and traps dirt and gives pimples.

As for your question about powder, if it's regular powder, not the SPF kind or anything, my understanding is that it's supposed to give ur face a smoother finish by eliminating oil (and shine) which usually emphasize blemishes and imperfections and kind of masking your pores and reducing the appearance of spots (particularly if it's tinted powder).
