Avoid Acne and Bacteria from Makeup
Before you apply your makeup. You should always wash your face and hands. Washing your face washes off the excess oils and any bacteria that might be on your face.
This is especially important for teenage girls and younger women.
Foundations and cover-up type cosmetics are your worst offenders of growing bacteria.
If you are a teenager that has an acne problem. You should throw out your foundation and buy foundation that comes in a pump or spray.
Buying cosmetics and foundation in a pump is the best way to avoid bacteria growth in your makeup.
I will tell you why? Your touch surfaces loading with virus and bacteria. Every time you use your fingers to dab from the bottle or jar. You are introducing bacteria from your fingers.
Also when you do touch ups throughout the day. You are not always somewhere to wash your hands.
Never sleep with your makeup on. Your face needs to secrete natural oils and breathe. Be sure to clean your face before bed time.
