Is it okay to cover my acne with makeup as long as I wash it off every night and morning?

You. definitely can use makeup when you have acne.

A few things to remember:

  1. When you have an Acne prone skin it is better to use powder cosmetics instead of cream foundations.
  2. If you still want to use foundation the best will be oil-free liquid silicone matte foundations, such as those containing dimethicone or cyclomethicone.
  3. Always Look for oil-free makeup, sunscreens, and cosmetic products. The best are products labelled non-comedogenic. These products were tested and found not to clog skin pores.
  4. Clean you brushes on a regular basis - at least once a week.
  5. Remove you makeup before you go to sleep.
