Is it difficult to apply makeup on acne-prone skin? If
so, keep reading. For those with acne-prone skin, not only do they find it
difficult to choose skincare products, but they also need to be careful when
looking for cosmetics. Acne-prone skin requires special attention when caring
for your skin and even when applying makeup. Therefore, when shopping for skincare and cosmetics, always look for labels such as non-comedogenic, gel, and
oil-free. We will share with you some makeup tips that will change your life if
you have acne. These simple makeup tips come in handy if you don't want your
breakouts to get worse.
Use primer
If you have acne-prone skin, it tends to be more oily,
which means your makeup won't last for hours. In the middle of the day, you
will notice that your makeup starts to slide off your skin. To prevent this
from happening, always use a primer, especially on the T-shaped area, before
applying the foundation. This will give it a smooth texture, maximum coverage,
improved wear, and longer product life.
Use a color corrector
Since you have acne, you will have a lot of red spots on
your face, and applying concealer over the blemishes will not help hide them.
Use green concealer instead of concealer. Using on bright red blemishes will
neutralize the color and hide these blemishes well. Use a color corrector first
and then apply concealer on top.
Ditch the makeup sponge
Make-up tools such as brushes and sponges are more likely
to spread bacteria and can irritate acne-prone skin, further exacerbating the
appearance of breakouts. So use your fingers to apply makeup instead of these
makeup tools. Yes, you can make one exception to the rule - keep your hands off
your face. But before touching your face, make sure your hands are clean.
Never pile on layers
If you build up multiple layers of makeup, you will end
up drawing more attention to the bumps on the surface of your skin. Therefore,
when applying makeup, always start with the smallest amount of product, and
then gradually increase it with light pressure. Makeup should be applied very
carefully so as not to irritate acne-prone skin. Always remember that blend is
the key to perfect makeup.
Use acne-friendly products
When shopping for cosmetics, look for products that
contain salicylic acid and tea tree oil to keep acne and breakouts under
control. In addition, instead of products based on fatty oils and creams,
choose products based on the gel, water, and light matte products that do not weigh
down the skin or make it oily.
Remove your makeup
Always remove your makeup before bed. Never go to bed
with makeup, or it will clog your pores and aggravate acne. Cleanse, tone, and
moisturize the skin to wake up with soft and supple skin.
