Lastly, you need to follow a skincare routine that will keep your skin clean and healthy and clean your clogged pores that cause acne in the first place. These are all different ways to treat acne, but if you’re in a hurry, then maybe you will need to use makeup to hide up the unneeded spots on your face. Check out these tips that will help you show up looking flawlessly beautiful.

1 Moisturize First and Always

Before applying makeup, you need to make sure your skin is clean and well hydrated. That way, your makeup application will look much better. So, here is tip number one that you should never skip; wash your face and moisturize it generously. Keeping your skin hydrated will also lessen the chances of more acne breakouts. Even if you have oily skin, don’t ever skip the moisturizing part. A lot of moisturizing creams are out there that are made specifically for different skin types. Choose the one suitable for your skin and apply it every day after you wash your face, before makeup application, and before going out in the sun.

2 Go for Oil-Free Makeup

Having a lot of acne scars and spots on your face means you’re more likely possessing an oily skin. That excess oil secretion blocks your pores and accumulates dirt, causing acne and pimples to break out. Thus, you need to bear this fact in mind while looking for the right makeup products. Opt for makeup products whose main ingredient is water and are mineral-based. Besides, the type of cosmetics that prevent the pores from being clogged is called either non-acnegenic or noncomedogenic. Again, always acquire mineral-based cosmetics because they are made to absorb the excess oil that sits on the skin and can hide the redness resulted from acne without irritating your skin any further.

3 Apply the Right Primer

Primers are essential in hiding all the skin flaws before applying other cosmetic products. You need to choose the right one, considering your skin type. Again, go for an oil-free primer. It will keep your makeup in place and absorb the excess oil that your skin already secretes, in case you have oily skin. Just note that exposing your face to the sun will always hinder your healing process, so avoid too much exposure. Even better, go for a primer that contains SPF, especially in case you suffer from scarring or hyperpigmentation.

5 You Need a Foundation

Foundations are good in hiding what you think makes your skin flawless. However, most of them are full of harsh chemicals that can backfire at your skin instead of treating it gently. Thus, you need to go for a non-comedogenic foundation, for it contains much fewer chemicals so that it wouldn’t irritate your skin. Besides, this type of foundations works perfectly with your acne medication, if you use any.
