I've heard this before and I feel it's true. I was in the hospital for 3 months and didn't wear make up and my skin got a lot clearer, however it's hard for me to leave the house without foundation. Does anyone know any alternatives that would be better for skin? (Bb creams? Powder foundations?)

Well, not if you wash it off properly every night. Some however do clog pores and cause acne, too much of anything is never good... I'd personally opt for oil free foundations, maybe even foundations which cater to acne prone skin (coverfx, dermablend, Clinique)
I use the garnier bb cream (both the oily and normal skin one) and I use a light foundation (UD naked skin)

I wash my foundation off completely, I make sure all of it comes off before I go to bed

Since it's on the whole day, yes it would affect the skin I havent been wearing makeup for the past month about, and I've been taking tonsss of breaks not wearing makeup and my skin is SO much better! I'd say if you're not going anywhere important, or that you wouldn't really mind showing your bare face, just leave it be :) either way everyones naturally beautiful!

Like others mentioned you definitely have to take care of your skin too. You can't just expect it to look great if you don't take it off at the end of the day or use a makeup wipe (which is better than nothing but its still in your pores along with dirt and other junk). Anyways I notice that for my skin personally I react better when I'm not wearing liquid foundation. I wear mineral foundation and some concealer for everyday and I find that my skin looks and feels better than when I use liquid everyday. Primers help create a barrier between your skin and the foundation and it also gives a better finish but even then my skin breaks out more with liquid after wearing it everyday or whatever. And I do a lot as far as skin care regimens go, so thats not the case. But overall I don't think foundation "ruins your skin", but its not always great for it.

Mineral Foundations- Merle Norman (my absolute favorite so far), Philosophy (love this one too and its easier to find than Merle Norman), and Tarte has one, and of course Bare Minerals.
