The article "Remedying the Silly Ways Women Get Acne When Applying Makeup and Moisturizers" talks about acne, it has been created by Naweko San-Joyz.
Women spend thousands of dollars to create a flawless face. Yet faulty or uninformed uses of moisturizers and makeup can lead to inexplicable breakouts for girls.The two key sybmols to remember when applying makeup and moisturizers are cotton and the feather. Cotton symbolizes the need to use clean applicators when applying makeup. The feather represents light application of makeup and moisturizers.Here are the four biggest mistakes girls make in their beauty regime that can lead to acne and ways to remdey them.1. Re-using a consealer applicatorYou have a zit and you want to hide it. So what do you do? Dip your consealer applicator in the bottle and apply the liquid cover directly to the inflamed zit, right. No. Reapplying consealer to your face with the applicaotr provided by the manufacturer does one thing only, spread more bacteria. Once you apply the consealer to your face with the applicator wand, you simply return it to the bottle where the batceria have a whole container in which to flourish.
Giving bacteria a breeding ground is what causes acne in the first place, so don’t give them new real estate in which to reproduce.Solution:
To avoid this, apply your consealer with a cotton swab and never, ever use the applicator stick provided by the consealer manufacturer.
This will ensure that your consealer applications are always fresh and free of as much bcateria as possible.2. Re-using a foundation sponge The reasons for not re-using a foundation sponge are the same as the reason for not re-using a consearler applicator, you want to limit the spread of bacteria.Solution:
Never use the foundation sponge provided by the maunfacturer of the cosmetic.
Instead, use a cotton ball to apply your foundtaion. This way, each of your foundation appilcations will be clean.3. Applynig moisturizers and makeup with a heavy hand.Do you have the habit of piling layers of makeup onto your face?
Caking on your makeup clogs your pores. Clogged pores are an ideal breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria.Solution:
Always lightly apply your makeup and moisturizer.
One easy trick for assuring that you're applying your makeup and moisturizer lightly is that you feel a tickling sensation as you aplpy your cosmetics. The added benefit of light facial handling is that you reduce stretching and irritating your skin, a combination that can help limit the onest of wrinkles and acne breakouts.4.
Not evenly applying cosmeticsIf you noitce a collection of pimples surrounding your temple or hairline, this could be cause you start applying the makeup or moisturizer at the bottom of your face and work your way upward. However, if the makeup or moisturizer collects on your temples or at the hairline, the cosmetic excess may clog the pores and cuase zits.Solution:
When applying makeup or a moisturizer, spread it evenly across the entire face. Keep in mind that hair styling agents may have spread to your hairlnie and this increases the chances of the pores getting congested and zits arising. Also, while claensing your face, apply a warm cloth onto your hairline area to help remove the waxy build-up that comes from hair styling agents, moisturizers and makeup.So next time you're applying makeup or your moisturizer, call to mind the feather and cotton, your metaphor for staying “light” and “clean” with your skin.Health author and Stanford University graduate Naweko San-Joyz lovingly writes from her home in San Diego. Her works include “Acne Messages: Crack the code of your zits and say goodbye to acne” (ISBN: 0974912204) and the upcoming work “Skinny Fat Chicks, Why we’re stlil not getting this dieting thing” (ISBN: 0974912212) for release in June of 2005.
