Most
of the women suffering from acne do not know whether to use cosmetics, what
type of cosmetics to use or how to use them? It is not possible to describe all
the cosmetics that should be used and those that should not be used in a single
article. However, here are some basic guidelines for the use of cosmetics on
acne infected skin.
Foundation
Mostly
women use heavy foundation to cover up the acne pimples and scars especially
ihe beauticians in the parlor. It can hide your scars and can make pimples less
visible. But it is not really a good practice as heavy foundation can make acne
severe. So instead of using heavy foundation, use a darker shade of foundation
because it can also make pimples and scars less unnoticeable without having to
apply heavy foundation. Also, non-greasy camouflage type of foundation dont
does much harm to acne. So, always use non-greasy foundation with a darker
shade on acne skin.
Moisturizing
creams
There
are a number of moisturizing creams available in market. Though that can
improve wrinkles but they can make acne worse because of their oily nature. So,
if you have an oily skin, you don't need to have any moisturizing cream. If you
want to use one, try different brands and see how they work on your skin. And
when you use them, you can use a small amount in water emulsion.
Lipsticks
Lipsticks
usually do not have any bad effect on acne because you can cant have pimples on
your lips. You can use any type and colour of lipstick but just be a bit
careful if you have any pimple just under your lips. Just don't touch the
pimple with the lipsticks.
Eye
makeup
Eye
shades and other eye makeup also don't have and effect on acne like lipstick
because you cannot also have acne on your eye region. Similarly, powders and
perfumes also don't do any harm to acne.
Hair
Do
not use hair oils or conditioners if you have acne pimples on your forehead. If
you have acne then you might also have dandruff in your hair as acne and
dandruff are quite interdependent. Both are due to excess sebum production. So,
using a good antidandruff shampoo is good not only for dandruff but also for
acne.
