The term "cosmetic acne" may refer to two types of acne.
The first is actually caused by the ingredients in cosmetics.
The second is simply made worse by them.
In actuality, all types of acne may be worsened by certain cosmetic ingredients, because they plug or clog the pores.
• The Solution The simple solution is to avoid ingredients that clog the pores, but that is easier said than done.
Not only are specific ingredients involved.
It also has to do with the amount of the ingredient included in the product and the other ingredients it is combined with.
For over 30 years, dermatologists have been advising their patients that use-testing is the only way to find out whether or not a product will cause pimples.
The FDA advises the same thing for people who suffer from cosmetic-related dermatitis or allergies.
Use-testing means that you must test a new product on an inconspicuous area of your body and wait to see if there is a reaction.
It is the basic process of trial and error.
The problem is that the skin on your face is more sensitive than it is on the rest of your body.
So, there is no guarantee that you will not end up with pimples on your face, even if you careful test the product.
I'm not saying there is no solution for cosmetic acne.
I am simply stating the facts.
• What I recommend is the use of products that are free of allergens, irritants and toxins.
When you buy a new type of makeup or other cosmetic, read the warning labels carefully.
If the label of ingredients is long and includes numerous compounds that include the word "isopropyl", the product is not a good choice.
If it contains mineral oil, petrolatum or paraffin, it is likely to cause or worsen cosmetic acne.
You should also avoid soaps and other products containing sodium laurel sulfate.
That ingredient is very common.
Yet it is responsible for a number of dermatological problems.
When combined with mineral oil and used on the skin, it may contribute to skin cancer.
Another step that I recommend is to always use a day cream containing grape seed oil before applying any kind of makeup.
• Why Grape Seed Oil Works While you might think that oils are your problem, it is actually oils that are not compatible with the skin's sebum...
the waxy oil produced by your body.
Grape seed oil is highly compatible with sebum.
The big benefit of grape seed oil is that it creates an invisible film that will actually keep your makeup from clogging your pores and reduce your risk of cosmetic acne.
It is the filming ability that has made it popular for stir fries and gourmet cooking.
Cooks are able to use less of the oil, because it coats the pan and the foods.
Grape seed oil is also rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids.
It helps protect against and reverse dryness.
The antioxidants help to prevent and reverse free radical damage, a major cause of skin aging.
Grape seed oil can be found in a number of facial moisturizers, but the concentration and other ingredients vary greatly.
• What Are the Extra Benefits You Get A good natural ingredient Day Cream contains Functional Keratin.
It has natural anti-inflammatory activity, which means it will help reduce the size of existing pimples.
It can also be used to help heal dermatitis and other inflammatory conditions.
