Makeup and cosmetics have been used by female since long time ago. It can enhance beauty, and often relied by women to cover up blemishes and small imperfections. Ironically it can also be the cause of acne. This condition is called acne cosmetica. It is caused by the usage of cosmetics and makeup.
Usually acne cosmetica appear on cheek, forehead and chin. It usually appears as small bumps or rashes that are rough to touch. It happens when pores are clogged by cosmetic such as makeup, moisturizers, eye cream, pomades hair oils, gels. It is because of that the cosmetic used is comedogenic, which cause the formation of comedones or clogged pores. You should be warned that if you don't take action to treat it it may stay on for weeks or months. People who is prone to acne is even worse to wear cosmetics, because makeup can irritate the skin and cause acne cosmetica.
There are ways to treat this condition. The best way is to stop using the product that is suspected to cause acne. If you have acne on hairline or forehead, stop using hair product to see if it is causing the acne. Try to determine which product cause the acne. If acne appears on eye area, stop using eye cream and see the effect. If it appears all over face and neck, it may be the moisturizer or foundation makeup that cause the acne. Stop using the product may improve the condition immediately.
In order to prevent acne cosmetica, use only non-comedogenic product on face and hair. As a generally rule try to use cosmetics that are not heavy or oily. Choose power-based product over liquid form as liquid usually contains more oil and pwder can make the face appears cleaner and less shiny because it absorbs the oil on your face. Try not to sleep with makeup still on. Clean your makeup brushes and applicators frequently may help as well.
