Does Wearing Makeup Cause Acne?

The answer is yes. Cosmetic induced acne is so widespread that it has its own name, acne cosmetica.



Makeup and acne, they're like magnets.
If you have acne, you likely need the makeup, but, on the other hand, if you use makeup it may cause acne.

Some people get acne without ever wearing a stitch of makeup,
and there are others who wear makeup all the time and they
never get a pimple.



That being said, makeup can definitely aggravate acne or make acne worse. Sometimes this is the result of makeup wearers not realizing that they are sensitive or allergic to certain ingredients.

1) Choosing the right makeup is important to avoid acne cosmetica.

Make sure they don't have Comedogenic ingredients that clog up your pores and make your acne worse.

Other times, it may be that they're forgetting to take their makeup off after a day of wear, therefore clogging up or blocking pores.

2) Choosing the right makeup remover is also important as a cleanser can affect how fast your skin oils up.

Make sure that the cleanser can remove the impurities so that it doesn't leave your skin "half washed".
