Causes of Cosmetic Acne

Make-up can become both a physical and psychological cover up. Many people begin using acne cosmetic make up to solve their acne problems. When it comes to cosmetic users some 30% have skin that is acne prone while the remaining have skin that is capable of withstanding the effects. However the beauty and health of the human skin is being threatened by one of the biggest campaigns ever waged in the history of merchandising. Always on television, radio, magazine and newspapers, we are urged to put aside basic skin care ingredients like soap and water in favor of such make up 'aids' as cleansing creams, night creams, daytime moisturizers, face foundations and rouges. Women and men alike, in their teens, twenties and even early thirties, are potential candidates for cosmetic acne. Whiteheads may appear on your cheeks, chin and even forehead and this is the characteristic of cosmetic ance. While cosmetic acne hardly ever leaves scars, it can be unsightly, persistent and troublesome. The pores in the skin have enough trouble dealing with the body's own sebum oil by adding more oil in the form of cosmetics it is making the problem worse. Even people who are not acne sufferers can actually develop acne through the use of their cosmetics. Since cosmetic acne usually appears subtly after several months of repeated use of a comedogenic (acne-producing) product, most women will not realise it's their product causing the problem. Make up is used to cover acne but when it is used it can cause more acne and on it goes thus cosmetic acne can become a vicious cycle. Comedogenic Ingredients The cosmetic industries new favourite buzz word is "oil free". Yet many cosmetic manufacturers are substituting chemicals which, legally speaking, are not considered oil free only because they come from synthetic sources rather than from natural sources, i.e., animal, vegetable or mineral. Natural oils however are much less likely to cause acne than their synthetic counterparts. Advertising claims for many cosmetic terms such as "oil free," "dermatologist tested" and "hypoallergenic" can be very misleading. Hypo-allergenic may mean the product is perfume-free, yet it could still contain ingredients harmful to acne-prone individuals. "Dermatologist-tested" may be exact but not entirely effective. Skin allergies and irritancies may have been tested with the product but not always for the effects on skin pores and thus causing acne. Steer clear of lotions and treatments that contain derivates of lanolin, analogs of isopropyl myristate, laureth-4 and D&C red dyes. Cosmetic manufacturers often change the product comedogenic ingredients so it is important to read the label carefully. Try using natural products that clean and open pores and kill germs effectively but without irritating your skin. There are many products available furthermore that help regenerate you skin also. There are many products available that are non non comedogeni (non acne-producing) choices and this is an essential step of course in preventing cosmetically caused acne.
