Your husband has arranged a romantic candle-light
dinner for the two of you by the pool side! Of course you wanna look
your best. But how is that possible until you have that pimple embedded
area on your face?
Well, it's not that impossible. A well
balanced makeup can hide your pimples as well as cause no harm to your
acne. Although makeup is generally avoided by acne suffering women but
it's not that bad at times, if used in moderation.
How to
apply makeup to hide acne?
1. The first step is to gently
wash your face with cold water and soap. Then dab the face dry,
carefully.
2. After the face is dry, apply an astringent, which
should be a part of every woman’s beauty supplies. Almost any drugstore
will carry something suitable that can be used as an astringent.
3.
If you have several blemishes, try using a concealer or stick cover-up.
This goes right on the blemish and can be blended in, to hide acne.
4.
Next, carefully use your fingers to apply foundation to the blemished
area.
5. Then continue with the rest of the face, applying foundation
with the fingers.
6. After these steps are complete, continue with
standard application of makeup, and follow up with an application of
face powder. The end result should be less noticeable pimples.
Now
the next set of questions that would arise in your mind would be - Can
an acne sufferer use makeup? How safe is it to use makeup if you have
acne? Can it aggravate the situation further? Does makeup cause acne?
Which type of cosmetics should one use when suffering from acne? So,
here are the answers to all your fears and queries.
Can
cosmetics cause acne?
There are certain cosmetic products that
can cause acne. The cosmetics with an oily-base can cause worst effects.
They clog the pores and thus lead to development of bacteria which
causes acne. Sometimes, hair oils are also responsible for causing acne.
Can
I use makeup if I have acne?
You can use make-up even if you have
acne but use it sparingly. Although, the best option would be not to use
it altogether, moderate use at times is not a strict no-no.
What
kind of cosmetics should I use if I have acne?
If you have acne, use
cosmetics labeled as 'non-comedogenic'. These are the products that do
not cause acne. But, in some cases, even these products can cause acne
to turn worse. Use cosmetics which are oil-free and which have a water
base. Certain hairstyling products, when come in contact with skin,
cause a stinging sensation, avoid these totally.
Some tips to help you out:
1. Use as little makeup
as you can if you have acne.
2. Pay attention to the overall
cleanliness of your skin.
3. Remove the makeup before you go to bed.
4.
Use oil-free cosmetics.
5. Use cosmetics with a water base.
6. Use
cosmetics labeled as non-comedogenic.
7. Use little or no hairstyling
products.

9. Avoid permanent
makeup and tattoos.
So, just don't worry and go ahead with your
engagements. Whether you are a woman or a college going lass, acne is
not reason enough to stop you from enjoying the company of your loved
ones. You just need to be a bit smart and careful. That's it!
