5 reasons makeup can cause skin blemish

Beyond the desire to look beautiful, makeup can cause blemish to your skin. Here are 5 reasons why makeup can cause skin blemishes:

Makeup products containing comedogenic (pore-clogging) ingredients like oils, silicones, and acrylics can clog pores and lead to acne breakouts.

Using makeup products that are old or expired can cause skin irritation and acne.

Applying makeup on unwashed or unprimed skin can lead to the makeup trapping dirt, oil, and bacteria, causing breakouts.

Failing to properly clean makeup brushes and tools can transfer bacteria to the skin, leading to blemishes

Applying too much heavy, thick makeup to cover up blemishes can further irritate the skin and delay the healing process.

The key is to use non-comedogenic, acne-friendly makeup products, properly cleanse and prime the skin before application, and maintain good hygiene with makeup tools.
