Is makeup actually really bad for your skin or do people just say that?

i dont wear alot of makeup because apparently its bad for your skin (according to my mum) but does she just say that cause she doesnt want me looking like a tart? What actually happens if your Poures do get blocked up? Is it really as bad as they make out?





xIs makeup actually really bad for your skin or do people just say that?
yh is it they showed it on gok wans programme miss naked beauty 2008. they have like 14 women and they all used make up and they showed how their skin aged like hell cos of the make up it was really horrible so yes make up can ruin your skinIs makeup actually really bad for your skin or do people just say that?
because she applies it correctly.Gothgowl is not 100% correct...makeup does not ruin your skin.Its how a person applies and how a person takes care of their skin while wearing the makeup.Also,Choosing the right kind of makeup for your skin type is also very important. Report Abuse

It can ruin it if you don't take care of your skin and apply it correctly. Report Abuse

It depends on which kind of make up. For example, cream foundation is pretty heavy so it could be bad for a teenager since cream foundation is designed for older skin but hey it works for me anyways!





This whole business about it clogging pores comes from two different factors.





One, is from cross-contamination/not cleaning make up brushes or renewing make up sponges which harbor alot of bacteria causing breakouts.





Two, alot of foundations carry mineral oil, something used to polish wood or give a sheen to them. It basically sits right on top of the skin, and there for clogs pores. Plus alot of mineral foundations have talc, which doesn't let the skin breathe what so ever, therefore clogs pores too.





So it depends on the ingredients, and the keeping clean of the applicator!





*I forgot to add, as long as you dont fall asleep in your foundation you should be ok, and remove it correctly with a make up remover.
Makeup isn't good for the skin if it is not followed up with a proper removing and skincare regime. Some cosmetics which are made of inferior substances clog your skin. For me, I always make sure I spend alot more on my powder and eyeshadows (very delicate eye area). And I spend alot on skincare products and facials. I used to spend alot on cosmetics and neglected skincare so my skin was really bad at one time and I could not even go out with a yellowish face with no makeup on. Now, thankfully, I don't need to rely on powders etc when I go out as I take excellent care of my skin. It helps me save alot of $$$ on cosmetics.
Makeup is not bad for your skin.With the correct makeup application...being applied to your face %26amp; makeup always being removed at night when you go to bed.You'll be fine...





Always.I mean always apply makeup to your skin when its clean and always make sure you clean your skin before applying makeup.To protect your skin from blemishes or acne outbreaks that can happen as a result of oil or old makeup remaining on your skin and clogging your pores.Makeup is not purposely bad,Its how you use it and apply it.
It depends on what makeup you use. If you use the cheap stuff it will be worse for your skin than others. Some makups include moisturizers and minerals which actually promote the skin cells on your face. Some like Neutrogena have benozine in it with actually heals acne. So to say all makeup is bad for you is very presumptuous. Just be concious of whats in your makeup and you'll be ok.
If you're buying the right make up, it won't make your skin worse at all. There are actually some make up products out there than improve the appearance of your skin. Make up looks best on clean, moisturized skin, so make sure you're using the right products for you.Neutrogena has oil free foundation with SPF in it, along with ingredients to actually help you fight break outs while you're wearing it. Look for it in your local drug store. However, there are some products that can clog your pores which in turn does create break outs. Look for the words ';hypoallergenic';, ';non-comedogenic'; and ';oil free'; on the make up you buy. This will ensure that the make up you're buying won't clog your pores, doesn't have any oil in it, and it doesn't have any unnecessary fragrances or minerals in it that will contribute to pimples. Powder is just that. It's just powder. It lets your skin breathe a lot more than foundation. However, foundation does give you a lot more coverage than just powder alone. Make sure you're washing your face free of make up at the end of the day before you go to bed. If you sleep with your make up on, you have a higher chance of clogging your pores, and therefore more pimples.
Makeup isn't too horrible-


It doesn't help if you have skin issues though,


and if you don't wash it off, it can lead to clogged pores,


but I always uses Physician's Formula which can actually help you skin.


Some other product brands are Bare Minerals and Clinique if you end up wearing makeup late on down the road...
if you were globs of it, it is but if you where just light foundation, a little lipgloss/lipstick and some eyeshadow it will be fine BUT NEVER EVER WHERE MAKEUP TO BED! Wash it off with a wash cloth and cool water before bed and lather with a cool moistureizer. But I would use hypoallergenic which is lighter on the skin and is less likely to cause acne :)





good luck!
its not bad. dont pack it obv.


but its not bad i watched a doctor thing on channel 4


and the doctor told the teen its not bad.


he said milk is?





and other thing i forgot





but unless you have exema or something it wont do harm


dont pack it over spots tho!


and actually the girl that said cheap one is bad.


thats wrong its was on E! that makeup artists were (sneakily) using cheap foundations ect.
its not really bad for the skin i mean not for everybody. i for one noticed that since i started using make up, my skin became smooth, maybe because of some chemicals in the make up that can actually do some good in your skin. other people have different experience, like they have break outs or their skin became oily etc. but if you really wanna try make up, i suggest you try the most skin friendly brands like neutrogena or clinique(fragrance free and so hypo allergenic). hpe this helped!
It does clog your pores but using great moisturizers and washing your face with good face wash would generally unclog your pores and will help keep your skin healthy. It is all in the matter of how well you clean your face and whether or not you have a good skin care routine to keep your skin from breaking out.
Yes, it really is bad for you. That is why so much effort is spent on cleaning products to get it off, and out of the pores of your skin.


Makeup should only be used to hi-lite your features, not to hide them, or make new ones.
It Is Actually Bad For Your Skin.


But If You Use Sensible Amounts, And Always Take It Off, Clense And Moustories, Then You Should Be Fine (:


Hope This Helps, Good Luck.

Its not bad for your skin as long as you don't use too much and remove it at night.


If your pores get clogged then you get spots and blackhead.. Eek.
Just wash your face afterwards. Buy a makeup remover if you have to.





If you take care of your skin, there shouldn't be a problem.
