Q: I've had mild acne on my face for a very long time, and have always covered it up with concealer or foundation. (currently using covergirl tru-blend) i've been wondering: if i stopped wearing makeup for a while, and kept up with the medicine and moisturizer i've been using, will that help my skin clear up faster? I'm 15 if that helps at all. sorry, it's actually covergirl "clean makeup" foundation
A: Yeah, I've never really had any acne problems, but if I ever even start to break out I don't wear makeup. If I wear makeup to cover it up, it just gets worse, so i put on more makeup, making it even more worse, etc. Just go fresh and don't touch your face other than a light daily washing. It's just a nasty cycle. But I used to have this really awesome makeup that had salicylic acid (the drug in acne medicine) in it which would clear your acne while covering it, and it comes in a ton of different shades.
