How does makeup affect our skin

Healthy and well-groomed skin is usually skin that looks natural. At a certain time, in order to slightly touch up the face or hide some other imperfection, a layer of makeup is chosen.

What's behind the makeup?

Typically, cosmetics that can be purchased at any beauty supply store are usually composed of substances such as petroleum jelly, animal fats, or minerals.

While all of these substances can clog the pores and sebaceous ducts of the skin and lead to blemishes and blackheads, it is advisable to stop for a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the makeup of the makeup in order to choose the least harmful option.

Thus, the best option would be to choose a makeup with mineral pigments. Among the mineral pigments, note that there are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as they are minerals that have anti-inflammatory properties and help us maintain healthy skin even when using cosmetics.

Facial skin can be sensitive to certain fragrances, synthetic colors and preservatives, so it is preferable to avoid using them in makeup, whenever possible, together with silicones and highly emulsifying products.

Healthy skin and makeup guys?

Makeup products have always been considered enemy number one for healthy and beautiful skin. Nowadays, using cosmetics and having a healthy face is not something incompatible if you follow a series of guidelines.

Cleanse your face: At MartiDerm, we always emphasize the fundamental role that skin cleansing plays in maintaining skin health and care. Every time makeup is applied to the face, it should not be skipped in the evening before going to bed. Remember, too, that cleansing your skin every night removes not only makeup, but also all traces of impurities, sweat and skin secretions that can clog your pores and sebaceous ducts. By removing your skin well every night, you will prevent acne breakouts, pimples, or other infections that may appear on your face.

Wear makeup with sunscreen: Sun protection is essential for healthy skin. When choosing facial cosmetics, it is recommended that you have a sun protection factor in your choice. In the absence of a protection factor, the first step is to apply a protection base.

Moisturize Your Skin Before Application: Just because makeup is used doesn't mean you need to hydrate your skin. To maintain health and skin care, it is vital not to go without moisturizing solutions, whose main function is to moisturize the skin and reduce water loss.

The skin does not limit us in anything, if we know how to take care of it in the best possible way. If you strive for this, you will always present your best face to the world. We are waiting for you in the next post!
