1. Foundation Makeup

Understandably, many acne sufferers try to camouflage their pimples with thick layers of foundation.

That’s fine if they’re using an oil-free foundation, but the hidden problem is that if a foundation is not labelled 'oil-free', chances are that it will contain large-sized molecular oils capable of clogging the pores and worsening the acne.

Therefore, when choosing a foundation for acne-prone skin, only buy those that are labelled ‘oil-free’ or ‘100% water-based’. Most major brands have oil-free ranges, so you won't have a problem finding one to your liking.

For the same reasons, avoid ALL Powder Compacts as they typically contain oils. Instead, use only loose dusting powder.

2. Skincare: Cleansers, Moisturisers, Serums

Use only products that assure they are non-comedogenic and will not clog your pores.

3. Sunscreen

Avoid sunscreen oils, foams, and creams. Instead, opt for a sunscreen lotion, milk, or gel.
