Beauty Tip

preventing breakouts from makeup



     Heeeeey! I haven't posted in a month of Sunday's first off I want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I have been so busy with life a lot has changed in my life and it has all been for the good. I'll feel you guys in at a later time. Anyways this is going to be a beauty tip for all my makeup lovers out there that are constantly getting breakouts from wearing makeup. 

  
     I love makeup however I have large pores that are prone to getting clogged up and inflamed. I would try foundation after foundation and end up hating it because it would break me out. So like most people I thought I had sensitive skin and couldn't wear foundation. It wasn't until I went to school and learned the word comedogenic. Comedogenic means its pore clogging meaning it has a ingredient(s) in it that will clog your pores aka it cause ACNE. So I started to look for foundations that were non comedogenic that took out basically all drug store brands and left me with only a few companies, who's foundation I could wear. That is when I realized about 95% of the foundation on the market is comedogenic. Below is a List of Comedogenic Ingredients that can cause acne.Unfortunately, they are commonly found in makeup, suntan lotions, cleansers and even acne products! So avoiding these ingredients can me nearly impossible so I have found a routine that has really helped stop my breakouts after wearing makeup.


My Skin Care Routine:

THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IS NEVER SLEEP IN MY MAKEUP EVER!!!!!
1.Cleanse face with a make up wipe
2. 2nd cleanse with a oil base cleanser for sensitive skin
3. I then use my Murad vitamin C cleanser with a face brush
4. Tone 
5. apply serum
6. Moisturize


Depending on what day of the week I also use a gel masque.





*Cleansers aren't as important as the makeup and lotions you are leaving on your skin all day. ONE EXCEPTION: Cleansers with Sodium Laurel Sulfate will leave a film on your skin ALL day long. This is the worst problem with most cleansers. 

People with normal/dry skin, that aren't prone to break outs usually don't have a problem with most ingredients on the list.
