Make Up Games and Acne


Girls who have trouble with acne have a more complex approach to make up games. On one hand, make up games can make the skin break out in worse ways if you use make up that contains too many chemicals or oil. On the other hand, make up is one of the few ways you’re able to cover the signs of acne and give your face a smoother appearance.

It’s a complicated decision about wearing make up when you have serious acne, but if you do decide you’d like to wear make up, consider the following.

Don’t wear cheap make up – cheap make up tends to be made with more chemicals and more fragrances and substances that can irritate skin. Often these products are cheaper than the higher quality items in more expensive make up items.

Do find plant or mineral based products – you’ll pay a bit more, but mineral and other natural make ups are healthier for the skin and you’ll be putting natural substances on your face rather than chemicals.

Do wash your face immediately – as soon as you’re finished with your day at school or your special event, wash your face. Keeping your face clean and properly moisturized is the best way to care for your skin.
