Make-Up

Does the type of makeup you use affect your skin?

Are you amongst those who cannot go even a single day without makeup? We do understand the power of good contouring or the excitement that you get when you see that incredible sale coming your way. Whether you love to experiment with new looks or just can’t imagine leaving your house without putting on your favorite lipstick, but do you know what your favorite makeup product is made of?

Makeup contains a lot of components and chemicals which may suit your skin type or may trouble your skin in one way or the other. While in most cases, makeup is harmless, but some products may cause problems for certain individuals. This is why it is very important to know your skin type and your skin condition so that you can use cosmetics and makeup accordingly.

Skin types can be broadly classified as Oily, Sensitive, Dry, Combination, and Normal. Although most people know their skin type, they may fail in recognizing their underlying skin disorders because of which the makeup that they use may cause inflammation or disruption of their skin barrier. Some of the skin unfriendly components present in their makeup may also cause problems like itchiness, irritation, or even long-term damage like untimely aging.

Now how do you know if the makeup that you put on is affecting your skin or not? For that, we are listing down some of the most common and visible effects that you can notice by yourself to know if your makeup is suiting you or not.

1. Clogged Pores

If you see a lot of acne or bumps building lately on your skin, this means some product that you are using is not suiting you. This is because that product has started clogging your pores as it is not letting your skin breathe.

2. Untimely Aging

Some makeup products do lead to premature aging and the signs for that are the appearance of fine lines, age spots, and wrinkles.

3. Allergic Reaction

There are products in the market which contain harmful chemicals like SLES and parabens, which may cause allergic reactions. This is why knowing the ingredients of the product you are putting on is important.
