10 Things to Avoid When Wearing Makeup
Heavy Foundations
Heavy or thick foundations can clog pores and lead to breakouts, especially on sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Non-Comedogenic Products
Using products that are not labeled "non-comedogenic" may result in clogged pores and increased risk of acne.
Old Makeup Products
Expired makeup can harbor bacteria and cause skin irritations, infections, or allergic reactions.
Sharing Makeup Tools
Sharing brushes, sponges, or other makeup tools can transfer bacteria and oils, increasing the risk of skin infections and breakouts.
Harsh Ingredients
Makeup products containing alcohol, fragrances, or strong preservatives can irritate the skin, especially for those with sensitive skin conditions.
Applying Makeup on Dirty Skin
Not cleansing your face before applying makeup can trap dirt and oil under the product, leading to breakouts and skin irritation.
Using Glitter on Problem Areas
Applying glitter or shimmer on areas with acne or texture can draw attention to imperfections and exacerbate irritation.
Skipping Sunscreen
Neglecting to apply sunscreen under makeup exposes your skin to harmful UV rays, increasing the risk of skin damage and premature aging.
Ignoring Skin Type
Using products that are not suited for your skin type (oily, dry, combination, etc.) can lead to imbalances and skin issues.
Rubbing or Scrubbing During Removal
Aggressively removing makeup can irritate the skin, lead to redness, and cause unnecessary friction, which may worsen skin conditions.
