Use Acne-Friendly Makeup

You may be tempted to disguise a fresh pimple on your face with cosmetics, but this is one of the worst things you can do. Too much makeup, or certain types of makeup, can clog pores and cause outbreaks. This isn't to say you shouldn't wear makeup, but you should be cautious about the things you select and how you apply them.

Instead of using a heavy foundation, use a tinted moisturizer or a little application of powder foundation. To get the desired appearance, you should avoid greasy formulas and use as little makeup as possible. When shopping for makeup, look for products that are non-comedogenic (this simply means that the product is formulated not to clog pores) and free from harsh chemicals and fragrances.
