Please can someone tell me how to prevent acne when I put makeup. I don't wear makeup often, but when I do after I take it off I have feeling that it is a cause of new acne. Sorry for bad English, it isn't my language.

You should exfoliate and wash your face you should also put some masks like eggs lemon or baking soda hope I helped.

Wash your face before you apply makeup and also make sure you clean your makeup brushes regularly

The makeup doesn't actually cause acne if you wash it off, but your makeup brushes can get bacteria on them.

^ Yeah, for causing clogged pores and making acne prone skin go nuts!

Make sure you use a primer. A primer acts as a barrier between your make up and your skin. I personally find CoverFX to be the best brand as it is formulated for acne prone skin types and does not use gluten, dairy, and other contributing factors that irritates acne prone skin that a lot of other brands contain. If you have acne prone skin yet feel the need to wear make up then this might be the best choice. It can be a good idea to wear a primer alone as well, to protect your skin from every day elements. Clinique's line of skin make up also seems to act beautifully on acne prone skin.
Make sure you remove all your make up when you do, and don't sleep with it as it's been said to age your skin by ten years, when you do. Neutrogena also seems to work well with acne prone skin types, if you do not have the means to purchase a high end label.

Primer is actually a good thing to wear with face makeup because it sets a barrier between your skin and your makeup. therefore the makeup won't sink into your pores and create acne.
