Acne and makeup. Make up causes problems...?

Question

so i (have to) wear an expensive chanel :( Its really too expensive but i have no other option. Even chanel can cause break outs. Is there any way in which i can reduce the effects of make up on my skin?

Answer 1

you need to use a make up that is free or dyes, fragrances and all that weird stuff. use one thats 100% minerals for your face - as they are good for you but you also have to remember to clean your brush like once per week. try ideal shade smooth mineral makeup its on sale right now for $7.99 . another thing you can use before applying the make up is magix face perfector, it minimizes pores, banishes shine and smoothes skin and its also $7.99 - check them out  - i sell avon and a lot of people have been ordering these products: http://www.youravon.com/mdelgado

Answer 2

Many of the people on here have said "try mineral make up, it's great for acne prone skin". But I just wanted to mention that mineral makeup is not always good for acne prone skin. First of all many mineral make up brands (Bare Escentuals, Sheer Cover, Revlon, Loreal Bare Naturale, Meybelline Mineral Power to name a few) contain this one ingredient called Bismuth Oxychloride which gives mineral make up its sheen but can cause skin irration and acne breakouts in women with sensitive skin. Read the following articles...very interesting and it may answer some of your questions about acne and makeup.  

Answer 3

why dont you have another option?

thats wierd, and will HARM YOUR KIN IN THE LONG RUN(and now as well)

umm, wash well, use a toner, and apply a moisturizer.

get a facial(homemade or any kind) it helps.

Answer 4

Well. first of all make sure your make-up is all non-comedogenic. that means it will NOT cause acne.

also look for products with tea tree oil in them, because that will actually help clear up your skin.

Also mineral make-up is a great choice if you have sensitive skin.

hope this helps ♥

Answer 5

i know it's too direct but i had the same exact probelm, and my best answer is to go to the dermatologist, they can find out what is good and bad for your skin.

Answer 6

Use mineral makeup or mineral based products they are perfume free, dye free, and chemical free. Avon has a new product called MAGIX by Reece Witherspoon. It's a clear "primer" that you use before applying makeup that smooths out your skin tone and lays a protective layer on before the makeup goes on.

Answer 7

I know it's not the thing you want to hear the best thing is to wear none at all because it will only make it worse - it's a vicious cycle.
