Skin Care Tip

Your daily make-up products can cause unwanted acne!

Depending on the ingredients of your makeup products, it may cause unwanted acne. Therefore it is important to be aware of the types of makeup that you are using. It may be helpful to know if products are non-acnegenic. Non-acnegenic products typically do not clog pores, which keeps your skin fresh and less prone to acne. In addition, products that contain silicone typically do not allow the skin to breath, leading to acne. Once you choose the product that best fits you, don't forget to cleanse and wash your face to remove all products!

Keep your skin fresh this summer by being aware of what's in your makeup products.
