What to Look For in Makeup for Acne-Prone Skin

🧴 1. Non-Comedogenic

• Means it won’t clog pores

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

🧪 2. Oil-Free

• Avoid heavy oils that can trigger breakouts

• Look for water-based or gel formulas

🧖‍♀️

3. Contains Acne-Fighting Ingredients (optional)

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

🚫 4. Free of Fragrance & Harsh Additives

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

💄 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

🔹 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

🧼 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
