Make-up tips for acne sufferers

Make-up tips for acne sufferers

Use make-up products that are oil-free and non-pore-blocking. Apply foundation and concealer gently with clean fingers because sponges breed bacteria. Gently set with powder. Try not to wear full make-up every day because the bacteria that lead to acne thrive if your skin can't breathe.

Wash your brushes in mild shampoo and let them dry thoroughly to prevent cross-infection.

Cosmetics can be full of acne-aggravating chemicals, so check the ingredients before you buy.
