Frequently Asked Questions
1. What type of makeup looks and products are the best for my acne-prone skin?
The first thing to check when purchasing makeup is that it is non-comedogenic. This term suggests that makeup won’t exacerbate or worsen acne. You might also want to check for items marked “oil-free” if your skin is oily.
2. How can someone with acne-prone skin safely remove makeup?
If your skin is acne-prone, following the correct order of skin cleansing steps is crucial. After removing your makeup with an oil-free cleanser, gently wash your face. Even when taking off makeup, refrain from rubbing your face. When using an acne treatment at night, wash your face first. Then, follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturiser.
3. Should I moisturise oily skin that is prone to acne?
Yes, you still need to moisturise even if your skin is oily and prone to breakouts. To keep your skin hydrated and soft, a hydrating moisturiser helps retain the water in your skin’s outer layer. They do not add water to the skin.
