Could Your Makeup Be Giving You Acne?

While Acne Cosmetica is a common concern for many, the good news is there are things you can to do treat, and even prevent it!

Here are our top 3 tips to say goodbye to Acne Cosmetica for good. 

1. USE A NON COMEDOGENIC BRAND 

Makeup induced breakouts can be easily treated by ditching that conventional pore-clogging makeup and instead treating your skin and pores! Switching to a non-comedogenic, non-toxic good for your skin mineral makeup brand is key to happy healthy skin. 

We recommend making the switch to clean beauty, breathable makeup that won’t harm but heal and treat your skin like InClinic Cosmetics good for your skin foundations.  We formulate mineral based foundations infused with skincare actives to nourish, heal and hydrate skin. InClinic Foundation Formulas are non-comedogenic, acne safe, vegan, paraben and cruelty free. Made especially for breakout prone and sensitive skins in mind to use safely on a daily basis, and sold in over 100+ skin and laser clinics and salons throughout Australia and NZ. Some find complete relief from their blemish and acne prone skin, just by making this simple change in makeup formulas.

2. CLEAN YOUR BRUSHES 

Take a look at what you’re applying your makeup with, and make sure that it is clean and sanitary.  A main cause of Acne Cosmetica is the transferring of bacteria to skin through dirty brushes and sponges harbouring bacteria, this is where it starts to spread and flourish. We advise using InClinic’s Professional Brush Cleaner, which  disinfects and sterilizes brushes instantly between makeup applications keeping skin healthy and bacteria free. 

3. REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP THOROUGHLY EVERY NIGHT 

Ensure you are thoroughly removing your makeup every night, giving your skin time to breathe and regenerate. We suggest using InClinic’s Makeup Remover and Pre Cleanser, which is non-comedogenic and gently dissolves all traces of makeup even waterproof mascara along with any impurities left on the skin. This is the first step in double cleansing which is an essential part of keeping skin healthy and glowing. The second step should be using a AHA or BHA based cleanser like Clear Skincare’s Gel Cleanser which is glycolic based. 

In conclusion, it is not the actual makeup that causes breakouts, but poor choices in products and formulas.  Now that you know what to look for and avoid in a makeup product, and there is a way for you to safely wear cosmetics without compromising the condition of your skin. Partner this with the right brush cleaning and cleansing method, and you should be on your way to having flawless, and fabulous skin!
