Should You Use Makeup to Hide Acne?

Should you use makeup to hide  acne?
Acne can leave the skin with defects, with scars, red and mottled. Sometimes the scars left by acne will diminish with time, but most of the time, this is not the case. For many people, cover the symptoms of acne is a priority, especially for those who work with the public. Sometimes the scars left by acne are relatively easy to hide because they are caused by less severe acne cases or because acne is treated early in its onset. Deep scars caused by acne more aggressive, usually requires some form of cosmetic surgery to be removed because they are more difficult to conceal with the makeup and other cosmetic products. For mild scars, makeup can save the costs of medical removal of scars by a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon. It is also useful for those who have minor forms of acne or only localized outbreaks of acne. In these cases, makeup products can improve the appearance of your skin, make it smooth, even skin tone and give it a fresh, shiny.

What makeup products are made for you and your acne?

When choosing makeup products to use to cover acne and scars, avoid "comedogenic" products (which can clog pores), creating blackheads which can lead to acne breakouts. Products containing oils and petroleum products are more likely to cause blackheads and should be avoided. Instead, choose non-comedogenic products that do not contain these additives. Check labels carefully.

Although there is a wide range of products marketed for acne, many consumers find that when properly applied, the "ordinary" will make their goals. Do not be afraid to experiment until you find the right products for your skin's needs. Your dermatologist may also sell high quality products for it, ask for samples if these products interest you.
Light makeup, non-greasy and non-comedogenic for sensitive skin

If you have a history of sensitive skin issues, select a light make-up, non-greasy and non-comedogenic. There are many powders and foundations for sensitive skin on the market. Consumers who have oily skin should consider a tinted powder, which is amending and can help control fat and reduce shine appearance. Sometimes drug products may be good for you, especially if you put for long periods. Beware of products designed to "treat" acne because many of them can be very drying to the skin. As mentioned earlier, do not be afraid to experiment with the products you are considering. Many products are available as samples, allowing you to test.
Powder, foundation or a concealer to cover up acne

Be careful when selecting a powder or foundation and choose a product that is not harmful to your skin. Do not use products that are peeling, itching or burning your face. These kinds of products can damage your skin and are only added to his problems. When choosing makeup to hide acne scars, do not use a dark or light shade. Choose shades that match the tone of your skin, and apply evenly over the surface of your skin. Do not try to apply larger amounts of imperfections, it will only draw attention to that area. If the background color alone is not sufficient to cover acne, you may consider a concealer. The concealer is available in many forms and is often used to cover imperfections and help reduce both the visibility of acne, dark circles and other skin blemishes. Again, you may need to experiment to find the right product for you.

     Remember, acne scars often fade over time, and the day may come when you will no longer need to worry to cover them. However, much makeup can help reduce the visual impact of acne.
