Does foundation make acne worse? Does makeup attack my acne skin ? So many questions that arise when one has skin imperfections . Obviously, even acne skin can be masked. However, you have to follow certain rules and choose the right products. If makeup was previously not recommended for people prone to acne, dermatologists today agree to recommend "medical makeup"; which, thanks to the targeted products, improves the appearance of the skins with problems.
The golden rules of acne makeup
The makeup ingredients of acne skin? A discipline of iron side make-up and cleansing of the skin: in the evening, one removes make-up and one cleans one's skin with a non-aggressive and non-greasy product morning and evening. The second golden rule: use only products adapted to its type of skin (mixed to oily or very oily), without fat and non-comedogenic. Acne skin suffer from an excess of sebum, it is therefore useless to give them back fat with products containing fat. Nevertheless, do not confuse "feed" and "hydrate": even oily skin needs water. So we choose a light moisturizer , non-comedogenic, to moisturize every day. Finally, we wash our hands well and we carefully clean the brushes and sponges that we will use to apply makeup.
The good makeup routine for acne skin
Before putting on makeup, you prepare your skin. Clean with a suitable product, such as a foaming gel, exfoliate, then moisturize with a light cream. Do not tamper with your skin and do not puncture your pimples. Then apply a base to better fix the makeup and start to correct your skin. Use a concealer and tinted. If you have redness, which is often the case when you have acne, choose a green base. Otherwise, take a shade slightly lighter than your complexion. Apply this base in small quantities, with a correction brush. Then comes the step of the foundation . Opt for a foundation covering and concealer, but light. Avoid too thick products that would create an unwanted mask effect. Apply the foundation with a brush to avoid overloading. For color, test it at the junction of the jaw and not on the back of your hand. Finally, with a mineral powder, powder where your skin is the fatest. This will prolong the makeup hold and avoid areas of shine. You can opt for a rice powder , natural and effective. Thus, if you have acne skin, no question of skipping makeup, but do not make any concessions on the choice of your products!
