Tips for Avoiding an Outbreak Triggered By Makeup

12 Comments


It’s awful really, something many women wear on a daily basis to accentuate their beauty is also something that tends to trigger a lot of breakouts. For acne-prone skin in particular, certain types of makeup can be a primary factor for the development of acne.

With makeup being a great way to conceal blemishes as they heal, it is a Catch 22 situation. So how do we take advantage of the good while alleviating some of the bad which could arise? By taking a conscious approach to how we treat our skin while using makeup, that’s how. Here are some things to keep in mind:

There is more to picking cosmetics than looking at their colour
Seek out products that are labeled as “non-comedogenic”, for they have been formulated to not clog pores. Going one step beyond that, some cosmetics companies offer products that work double duty by serving the visual function that you need the product for while also helping to nourish the skin a bit. A number of these offerings even have acne fighting ingredients like benzoyl peroxide. Choosing powdered makeup over cream makeup can also help to prevent pore blockage. The key thing to keep in mind is if it feels too heavy, it probably is.

    Hello Jessica,

    A very warm welcome to you – thanks for visiting :o ). It brings me joy to hear that you found it useful! With certain skin care habits being such a part of our day to day life, I most definitely will continue to make an effort to spotlight useful and applicable tips. Next up will probably be an article on the importance of sun screen, for example. Anyway, you are welcome but the pleasure was all mine.

    Hi Mike! It's really unfortunate that a gentleman such as yourself has been trying very hard, unsuccessfully, to find tips on makeup and acne. The situation for women is already pretty difficult to find good solutions and strategies for (especially when trying to find specific brands of makeup for acne skin). I can imagine it is doubly as hard to find solutions to wearing makeup on acne skin if you are male. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and good luck with your cross-dressing. And by the way, spammers are a bit more obvious when they pick blogs (and topics) at random.

    As simple as some of the information shared here may sound. it can become quite easy to not pay attention to it. Like sharing and applying makeup on a clean face.
    I do not wear makeup and have never really been a victim of acne if i may use that term. Thanks for reminding me of some forgotten points like choosing non comedogenic makeup. I hope others find these tips useful and implement them

    Hi Ms. Duckling, thanks for stopping by and chiming in with that! And I agree, with our skin, it’s sometimes the very simple things that we overlook A prime example is sleeping in makeup (with acne prone skin its even worse of course). Anyway, even non acne sufferers are welcome always :) , and I’m glad you found the tips useful!

    Hi Jim. Thanks for stopping by. Have you and Mike met? If not, I’d like to introduce you two…. you’re two males who were both moved by my makeup posts. I think it’s great to have a tranny stop by once in a while. Please do keep reading, you add a spice to the discussion.
