How will foundation/concealer affect acne?

I want to start wearing founation or concealer to cover up my acne but im worried it will make it worse. If it does is there anything i can do to cover it without making me breakout?How will foundation/concealer affect acne?
I am not sure with today's formulas- in my day they would clog pores. However a great alternative would be bare minerals or the like. Many people with acne swear by it.How will foundation/concealer affect acne?
There are foundations developed especially for people with acne. Try to find a concealer that contains salicylic acid, as this fights acne and is an ingredient in many acne-fighting cleansers. If you like, try using a very light dusting of concealing powder for a finish over your foundation, as this will cut shine and absorb excess oil. I also recommend using oil absorbing sheets a couple times a day--these will soak up oil without messing up your makeup. Make sure that you wash your brushes with a gentle soap at least once a week as well, since bacteria from your face can make you break out too. Another option would be to use a powder only, but while these absorb oil and look less shiny, they offer less coverage.
get bare minerals. its nice and light. no way should you wear liquid. way to heavy. BARE MINERALS is key.
The absolute best makeup to wear for acne prone skin is mineral make up. It has great (not clumpy or greasy looking) coverage, is a natural anti-inflammitory, doesn't clog your pores, and is actual good for your skin. There are many websites with this type of makeup, I have not had luck with any store brands, so invest in a better grade.
Hello!


Well I can tell you of something you can use to totally help and get rid of your acne. It won't happen over night, but it will happen in about 2-3 months without a doubt with continual improvement along the way. It's Arbonne's Clear Advantage system. It's a wash, toner, lotion and dietary supplement to work on your skin from the inside out. Their products do not have any mineral oil and is botanically based which means they are loaded with antioxidants. You must try this, you will be very pleased. They also have foundation in 3 forms (liquid, color wand or mineral powder) and it will not clog your pores but is formulated to build healthy skin with it also being botanically based. Arbonnes philosophy is pure, safe and beneficial. You can see a before and after picture on the site listed under my source.
Very light makeup is exactly what you should use. I know from experience that acne is a very embarrasing part of life and sometimes you don't really want to ';face'; the world. But concealer will help a great deal. Using thick or liquidy concearlers will clog your pores and cause bacteria to build up causing more acne to break out. Hyperalogenic concearler is the best because it is very gentle on your skin. Powdered foundation is always the best but do not pack it on or else it will make you look fake. Try some products out to see what is best.
Hi,





I totally know where you're coming from. I struggled with really, really bad acne about 2 years ago. Intially I tried tetra-cyclin and retin-a. However, my skin got freakishly dry and I started getting a weird rash on my face.





I quickly stopped taking them and tried Proactive. That sure was a waste of money. I finally started showering directly after the gym and found that this helped tremendously. I also tried a free product I got on the net called Beautiful Skin. Believe it or not, it worked way better than the prescription stuff! I only paid $4.95 for shipping for a month supply. I re-ordered and I use it to make sure I don't get back my zits. It also has tea tree oil which feels really good on my skin.





Here's the link if you want to get it, I think it's the best thing I've ever bought for the price $4.95

Good Luck!
I wear concealer, and don't have too many pimples. Make sure you have non oily cover - up! You have to face the facts, Make- up does clog your pores, and in order to let your skin breathe you really shouldn't wear make-up, particularly foundation. Liquid foundation it THE WORST!!! If you want to wear foundation. Put concealer on underneath and then put powder foundation lightly on top.


And maybe add a bit of blush! However only do this if you make sure you wash it off every morning! And make sure you wash your face every morning and EVERY NIGHT! Never sleep in make-up!

Don't put any makeup until you solve acne problem.
if u get good foundation, then u will be ok
Neutragena makes a fantastic foundation that is not very thick and is made for acne treatment throughout the day. If you buy the wrong kind you could possibly clog your pores so just be careful.
I dont advise wearing foundation/concealer over acne break outs


as it clogs the pores worse than it already is. I would truly advise you to go to your local doctor %26amp; ask for a perscription to clear your acne up first. Dont be shy about going to the doctor about this condition as alot of people suffer from it in one stage of there life.


Good luck.
it clogs the pores worse than it already is
i am studying to be a make up artist and i would recondmend using loreal or netrougenas foundation that also helps prevent acne
To not make it worse, make sure to get an oil-free foundation, and always remove makeup before sleeping.
