Does your skin react negatively when you wear makeup? Overnight breakouts that you get after applying cosmetics isn’t the same as breakouts from cosmetics. Acne (the comedone type) doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, you probably have “chemical folliculitis”. This is an aggravated follicle brought on by something you put on your skin. So, it’s not really acne. And, what’s good is that you know what brought it on so you can stop using the product. On the other hand, though, it’s very frustrating because anything you try seems to irritate your skin. But, whatever irritation you do have can clear up within a week or so – if it doesn’t, you should see a doctor to see what they can prescribe to clear it up.
Even though this type of skin condition isn’t “true” acne in the real sense of the word, it can start the acne process in acne prone skin. And, it can stimulate oil production – which isn’t helpful here.
So, what can irritate your skin? To name a few:
Alcohol
Anything acidic: lemon, grapefruit, etc.
Peppermint or menthol
These ingredients are often found in acne treatments. You may think that they “feel” like they are working, but they are really irritating your skin.
