How wearing make-up can trigger acne flare-ups?
There are a number of factors which could make acne flare up or lead to "breakouts", although triggers can vary from person to person and depend on a number of other factors such as age, gender, weather, hormones and stress related conditions. Clear Skin Max
The following two make-up related factors have been thought to be important in the "triggering" of acne attacks.
Cosmetics: several particular cosmetics, oils, gels, cleansing lotions and facial masks are oil-based or oil-friendly. these make-up and hair care products can easily clog skin pores. Therefore, before buying any of such stuff, you should particularly 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 strong cleansers or astringent products could really strip the skin and irritate it. This could lead to added 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 help.
? If you tend to have oily hair or dandruff you might benefit from an anti-dandruff shampoo.
? Also avoid unauthentic face creams or oils and oil-based hair tonics.
? Wash your face twice daily (yes, merely 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 each time you wash your face to prevent acne flare-ups. You must also clean makeup brushes, applicators and sponges after each use to avoid pimples. Bacteria build up on these materials and can 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.
