Why is makeup so bad for your skin?

I don't think makeup is necessarily bad for your skin. What is bad, however, is not washing if off at night.Why is makeup so bad for your skin?
They all are not bad its that some people over use it. Some use the wrong kind. Some use cheap makeup in which can damage your skin. People should use make up to enhance their beauty not rely on it to make them beautiful. Its best to keep it simple and light. It also helps to remove all residue of it and not sleep in it at the end of the day.Why is makeup so bad for your skin?
Hi,





Because it's a Mask that covers the Natural Skin,


hence, the Word: MASCARA, whichs means Mask.
it blocks your pores even i know that
Clogs pores... Use mineral make up is much better :)
it clogs up your pores then you get spots


but! use facial cleansing wipes by facial and then clean and clear cleansing liquid on a cotton bud, its amazing, kick out any dirt you didnt know you had. even after a shower you could use clean and clear and find dirt you assumed was washed off
it might clog your pores and chemicals...but a lot of makeup these days aren't bad for your skin
make-up is generaly ok for use in moderation, use too much and look like a tart and cause your skin to prematurely age, use too little and feel ugly (you shouldn't many beutiful people dont wear make-up, i think peeps look better without it too) so here's my points:





fine powder gets in pores and clogs em up





over application prevent oxgen getting to skin (no just your lungs that breathe)





combination of avove 2 points leads to skin wrinkleing due to cells dying and increase replication rate (if you photocopy a photcopy of a photocopy it dont always look like the original this works in cell replication (copying) too)


some mascaras and other products may contain chemicals which react or breakdown to make formhaldehyde (embarming fluid, the stuff they cover dead people in) this leads to cell death also since it is toxic to still living cells


also those mascaras which dont breakdown forming formhaldehyde tend to allow bacteria to grow in them so change the tube every few week if you dont use it all since bacteria + your eye = infection





but otherwise makeup is fine as far as im aware
Not all of it is.


I personally hate it, but I know it's not all bad.


A lot of the stuff can clog your pores and some can dry out your face
Because it is made by men who are thinking of their wives ?
I disagree with that notion that makeup is bad for skin. If you try mineral makeup, such as Everyday Minerals, you would know that it does wonders for your skin texture.
it clogges your pores and restricts air flow, traps in bacteria, and hinders oil production.
it sometimes soacks up the antioxidants and clogs pores. if ur gonna wear make-up then wash it off like everynight and make sure that its ALL of.
It's not. Many products are actually really beneficial for the skin, particularly foundation/tinted moisturiser as they protect the skin from the elements (particularly UV damage). It's only not so good if you paste it on with a trowel and dont remove it properly at night.
Always go natural
Clogs the pores and the additives scar the skin.
It's really not, it depends on what kind you use. Bare minerals are very good for your skin...
Pretty name Charlotte!





It's not the make-up itself.





It's if you wear it too thick. Try to apply it as light and natural as possible.





Brushes: Clean your make-up brushes with clarifyng shampoo. Clarifying shampoo won't mess up the bristles like other stuff. Or you can use shampoos like Iso Plus, which is designed to use while perming hair. This is to avoid bacteria spread.





Don't use brushes?: Use cotton balls instead, and freshly washed fingers for eyeshadow, lipstick, and gloss (or buy disposable eyeshadow swabs and discard after each use). But you can buy Simply Basics brushes for real cheap at Walmart.





Don't wear it too often or too long in a day: This is to give your skin a chance to breathe and not be clogged.





No matter how tired/sleepy you feel, take the time to wash it off before you go to bed. A good makeup remover is Cetaphil (Cetaphil does come in off-brands). I don't have dry skin, but I use it. Use the LIQUID kind. Put some on your face, like you're washing you face, and use a dry cloth to wipe it off. Don't get it in your eyes, but it won't sting. Cetaphil, especially if you don't use water, is an excellent deep cleanser. And DO avoid using that wash cloth after using it to clean makeup off your face until you launder it or handwash with laundry soap.





As long as you wear it in moderation, and don't apply too much when you do wear it, keep your brushes clean to avoid spread of bacteria that comes from your skin, cleanse skin with a fresh wash cloth, and don't sleep in makeup, you will be alright! :-)
It clogs up the pores,when the skin should be allowed to breathe.


If it does not get to breathe,sweat gets trapped,and causes spots.
i clogs up your pors if you leave it on over night so if you have it on try to reamove it with a good meke-up remover
Because it cannot breath!!!!!!
I don't know but when I actually did put make up on I had loasta break outs. then i stopped and my skins all clear now..





um yh lol x
It clogs up the pores in your face, and if not washed off everyday, will hold dirt and oil.
Make up is not bad for your skin, as long as it doesn't contain irritating chemicals.





If your skin is sensitive, the more chemicals are listed on the ingredient list, the worse it is for YOUR skin. Someone with an ';elephant'; skin will not be bothered. Things like essential oils, parfum, and certain oils are usually an overkill.





I would reccomend Dr. Hauschka brand (Whole Foods, online). Completely natural, mineral based make-up. It's very beautiful. And, it can actually be good for your skin.
Makeup isn't bad for you, unless you treat your face bad, or don't make sure that the things you use are safe for your type of skin. It's the fact that people don't know if what ingredients they are allergic to, have bad hygeine (as far as not washing their face when it's needed), and not knowing when enough is enough. You should never be fearful of makeup. First, make sure you know your skin type, and try and find the most basic cosmetics (like a powder or foundation). Start using products that are lighter, simple, and contain the most natural ingredients (like an organic tinted moisturizer). And most importantly have fun experimenting!!
make is bad for your skin if you do not wash or wipe it off before you go to bed
yh it blockes your pores and then youll realy need to use make up
make up isn't bad for your skin ! poor application and removal is , you need to cleanse tone and moisturise before you apply your makeup this prepares the skin and the moisturiser acts as a barrier , when you remove your makeup you again need to cleanse tone and moisturise , did you know wearing makeup can have positive affects , as well as helping to protect your skin from the elements , it can lift your mood and confidence , so go on slap it on , you know you want to !
Okay, I don't use make up, but trust me, I know this.


It is not the makeup but the bacteria. If you use a pad for powder and put that pad back in the powder, you have just created a breeding ground for bacteria. If, instead, you use cotton swabs or clean whatever you use, or have plastic between the pad/brush and the makeup, you will not promote bacterial growth. The bacteria on your skin creates pimples.
Makeup, like anything, has good and bad but first you need to take care of your skin...cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturing. Even mineral makeup has a cheap line and an expensive line but if your skin is healthy even the less expensive lines look good. Your makeup is ony as good as the skin underneath it. Exfoliation helps keep the pores unclogged so bacteria doesn't stay inside to become infected and turn into pimples. Don't forget sunscreen..most wrinkles and brown spots are caused by the sun.
