The right make-up for acne complexions

by Anna Kohl

Once you have acne, you have enough on your mind to worry about and you probably neglect make-up. Well, specialists have thought of that for all of you in the predicament and have come up with these general lines.

In the summer, skin with acne is more sensitive because pores are dilated and, thus, more likely to become irritated. Use lukewarm savory compresses on face every morning. Calming effect will be noticed within minutes. Do not apply fruit or acid veggies, such as tomato, masks, nor the reputed cucumber, which isn't indicated for acne. After having your face cleansed, purified and refreshed, apply antiseptic foundation which is, usually, green. But don't worry, it is meant to be green in order to dim the red color of acne complexions. Red and green will cover each other and skin matrix will appear normal. Foundations conceived for acne complexions are generally purchased from drug stores, cosmetic shops and pharmacies. Those were the Do's.

Here are some Don'ts.

First of all, never use creamy make-up, neither for cheeks, nor eyes, because fat products like those can cause you sebum excess and, therefore, skin problems.You should always for powder make-up. Secondly, never apply make-up unless face is cleansed and toned. This rule should apply to every type of skin, but it is so much more important for acne eruptions.And last, but definitely not least, never give up fighting acne. Every day means progress in reducing pimples, blackheads and cysts and it would be a shame to allow it get worse.
