Acne Cosmetica, what's in your makeup?

Makeup and acne tend to become a vicious cycle...

1. You use makeup to cover acne spots

2. The makeup helps accelerates the formation of your acne (bumpy texture on the surface of the skin or under the skin)

3. You use heavier makeup to cover the more pronounced acne

= Vicious cycle of Acne Cosmetica!

If you are acne prone you can still use makeup, you just have to shop smarter.  Using the "right" makeup will not clear your acne but it is one piece of the puzzle to achieving clear skin.  Go shopping armed with your Pore Clogging Ingredient List, find it here http://www.crystalclearacneclinic.com/  Avoid all makeup containing these ingredients!

Next, ignore the marketing...just because the package says "Oil-Free", "Hypoallergenic", "Non Acnegenic", or "Non Comedogenic" does not mean that it is acne safe...read the ingredients!

It's a known fact, women are attracted to pretty things. Marketing companies know this and cosmetic stores know this. So, go in there armed with the right information and remember to ignore the pretty packaging and the product claims. There are only limited laws or regulations that govern the claims on cosmetic packaging so your main defense is knowing the truth and the ingredient list tells the real story about a cosmetic's effects.
