Try going off of dairy products (cheese, milk and ANY other) for one month and see what happens. You may see a DRAMATIC difference.Is makeup bad for acne?
If you do use cover up to hide acne it is CRUCIAL that the cover up does not have oil in it. Get an oil-free formula. Also, since bacteria thrives on your hands, buy a supply of soft sponges to apply the make up and use a new one every time to eliminate the spreading of bacteria on your face. Use a oil free cleanser twice daily. If acne persists, you can get a prescription pill or cream to help resolve it.
get bareminerals.


its kidna expensive but it actually helped me get rid of acne


i even sleep in it some nights, on accident of course.


any kind of mineral make up is better than cover up


cover up has so much stuff in it that is harmful to your skin





i would say try mineral makeup, and if it dosen't help you out, then go to a dermotologist
Wash your face with dawn dish soap with bleach. I know it sounds crazy, but it really helped me. If Dawn can take grease out of dirty dishes, it can help get the grease off my face. For makeup use the stuff where it says won't clog pores. Stay away from oils. Also try exfoliating, dead skin can also cause acne.
yeah .. get a coverup thats oil free or non-comegenic or whatever that word is


i use cover-up and its oil free and it doesnt make my acne worse


i take it off after school and clean my face again


try a mineral makeup
it depends..... some coverup even has acne medication in it and if you get natural cosmetics they usually arent bad for your skin
dont buy the cheap products, a lot of them are designed for teenage skins so should be okay
yes
