Is Primer Bad for Acne?
Can Primers Help with Breakouts and Sensitivity?
- Think about what goes on top of your primer - while a makeup primer may be your base, it certainly isn’t the only thing on your face each day. Choose a foundation for sensitive or acne-prone skin and ensure you’re using other makeup and cosmetics suited to acne-prone skin too.
- Never sleep in your makeup - washing off your makeup and primer is so important. Otherwise, you’ll clog your pores and irritate your skin even more, undermining the benefits of your carefully selected acne- and sensitive-skin safe makeup and cosmetics.
- Exercise with a clean face - while we all love to look good when we’re working out, try to steer clear of makeup when you're exercising. The mixture of makeup and sweat can incite breakouts.
- Step away from the pimple - avoid touching your face throughout the day, and never pop pimples or pick at skin rashes. You’ll just irritate your skin even more and potentially introduce bacteria that will make the whole thing a lot worse.
