What to Look For in Makeup for Acne-Prone Skin

๐Ÿงด 1. Non-Comedogenic

  • Means it won’t clog pores

  • Always check for this label on foundations, concealers, and primers

๐Ÿงช 2. Oil-Free

  • Avoid heavy oils that can trigger breakouts

  • Look for water-based or gel formulas

๐Ÿง–‍♀️
3. Contains Acne-Fighting Ingredients (optional)

  • Some makeup products include salicylic acid, niacinamide, or sulfur to treat blemishes while covering them

๐Ÿšซ 4. Free of Fragrance & Harsh Additives

  • Fragrance and alcohol can irritate sensitive, acne-prone skin


๐Ÿ’„ Makeup Types to Use

1. Primer

  • Use a lightweight, oil-free primer to smooth texture and help makeup last

  • Silicone-based primers can help blur acne and pores

2. Foundation

  • Choose breathable, buildable formulas with a satin or matte finish

  • Avoid thick, heavy cream foundations

๐Ÿ”น Look for:

  • Powder or mineral foundations (good for oily skin)

  • BB or CC creams with skin-soothing ingredients

3. Concealer

  • Choose full-coverage, spot-treating concealers

  • Tap gently with a clean brush or sponge to avoid irritation

4. Powder

  • Helps set makeup and control shine without clogging pores

  • Use sparingly if your skin is dry


๐Ÿงผ Removal is Key!

  • Always remove makeup thoroughly before bed using a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser

  • Double cleansing (oil cleanser followed by water-based cleanser) is ideal for full coverage makeup
