How wearing make-up could trigger acne flare-ups?
There are a number of factors which could make acne flare up or lead to "breakouts", though triggers could vary from person to person and depend on a number of additional factors such as age, gender, weather, hormones and stress related conditions.
The following two make-up connected factors have been expected to be important in the "triggering" of acne attacks.Dermology
Cosmetics: many specific cosmetics, oils, gels, cleansing lotions and facial masks are oil-based or oil-friendly. these make-up and hair care products could easily clog skin pores. Therefore, before buying any of such stuff, you should specifically look for the following terms on product labels: "oil-free", "non-comedogenic" or "non-acnegenic".
Over washing: Actions like cleaning or washing your skin more often, scrubbing/exfoliating, or using powerful cleansers or astringent products can really strip the skin and irritate it. This could lead to more severe acne.
Make up tips in acne
? If you wear make-up, you should ideally use dry powder or hypoallergenic, water-base make-up
? Using skin care products labeled "nonacnegenic," "noncomedogenic," "oil free," or "will not clog pores" can aid.
? If you tend to have oily hair or dandruff you could benefit from an anti-dandruff shampoo.
? Also avoid unauthentic face creams or oils and oil-based hair tonics.
? Wash your face twice daily (yes, but twice and not more) with mild soap and water. Don't be too rough when washing and avoid astringents and abrasives as they can cause skin irritation and in general do not help improve acne.
? Prefer to use a clean wash cloth and towel every time you wash your face to prevent acne flare-ups. You should additionally clean makeup brushes, applicators and sponges following every use to avoid pimples. Bacteria build up on these materials and could contribute to acne flare-ups.
? Avoid unnecessary exposure to sunlight. Wear a sunscreen under your makeup or select moisturizers or foundations with an SPF protection level of at least 15.
