While makeup cannot cause acne, it can surely impact it. Hence, if you are using makeup and see any changes or additional inflammation in your acne, try spotting the product that is causing it and changing the brand that you are using. Besides, it is always helpful to remember that in addition to makeup, shampoos, hair gels, and hair oils also find a way to your facial skin, and can often result in breakouts, especially around the forehead. Thankfully, using “noncomedogenic” makeup and cosmetic products can help eliminate this issue.
