Make up Games and Beating Acne


Acne is a fierce rival. The red bumps and dots like to hang out on your face, especially if you’re a a teenager and working with some new hormone levels. If you’re dealing with acne, the right make up games can help, but it has even more to do with a good cleansing routine than anything else. Start your make up games with a good face washing at the beginning of the day. Wash your face with warm water and be sure your fingers aren’t dragging over the skin – they should slide on a layer of bubbles instead.

Then, rinse off the facial cleanser (never soap, mind you) and you pat your skin dry. Skip any exfoliation since that can irritate skin even more and then use your finger tips to apply a moisturizer while you skin is still dewy, or damp. Once it’s completely dry, consider using a gel to help dry out the acne on your face. It can take a few weeks to really make a difference in the acne on your face since your skin has to get used to the new products. But so long as you’re washing your face well in the morning and evening, you’ll be on your way!
