4 foundation mistakes that could actually be making your acne worse

Published by Business Insider on Thu, 19 Jul 2018


Many people believe that foundation in itself can cause acne. While thats not entirely true, there are a few mistakes you can make during application that can increase your chances of breaking out. Here are those mistakes, and how to avoid them.When youre faced with a particularly bad breakout, the first thing you likely want to do is cover it up with foundation and concealer. And while thats a pretty typical reaction for most people, you should know that by covering it, you may be causing that breakout to worsen, if youre not careful. So, the next time youre patting concealer over a reddened blemish, make sure youre avoiding these detrimental mistakes so that you're not inflaming your skin even more. Youre not prepping your skin correctly. Whether or not youre a believer in primers for prolonging your makeup, they can act as a physical barrier between your skin and foundation, therefore preventing the dreaded pore clogging. Primer creates a protective barrier over the skin, as well as seals in and protects any treatment products used during your daily skincare regimen," dermatologist Amy Forman Taub, MD told SELF. If you dont have or feel the need to buy a primer, you should at least be moisturizing your skin well before application to give your skin that barrier it needs. Youre applying makeup with your fingers. "Your fingers carry many germs and can irritate the skin if you're applying makeup with your hands," Craig Austin, M.D., an associate clinical professor of dermatology and dermatopathology at Mount Sinai Medical School and the creator of Cane + Austin told Womens Health. Of course, you can make sure to wash your hands before applying, but that might not be enough. Youre better off using a brush or a sponge, but you have to make sure to keep those tools squeaky clean as well, which is the perfect segue into the next common mistake. Youre not cleaning your brushes regularly. If you dont clean your tools, youre brushing each application from days past right back onto your skin every day, which means those oils and germs are being pressed into your pores over and over again. Why wouldnt that cause more breakouts' Makeup artist Neil Scibelli recommends cleaning your brushes every two weeks, according to Teen Vogue. Youre using the wrong foundation formula. Some ingredients within makeup can clog pores, which causes breakouts. Pay attention to the ingredients in your foundation and how your skin reacts to them. "Technically, most makeup doesn't cause acne, but certain ingredients can clog pores, which helps acne-causing bacteria grow," David Lortscher, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and CEO and founder of Curology told Womens Health. So, its best to choose a foundation that is labeled as hypoallergenic or non-comedogenic to avoid the pore clogging all together. Youre using too much powder.Many people who struggle with breakouts also have oily skin, which is why theyre generous with powder application to keep oils at bay. But applying too much can cause your foundation to look cakey and yes, clog those pores. "If your skin is on the oily side, I recommend using a mattifying setting spray, waiting for it to set, then touching up with translucent powder when needed," Scibelli told Teen Vogue.
