HELP TREATING ACNE CHICO, CA 916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC
I often receive a look of surprise when I tell patients to apply sunscreen over their make-up throughout the day. Many have the impression that applying any type of lotion or sunscreen over the top of their make-up will force the make-up deeper into the pores - causing breakouts. As long as you are using non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) make-up this will not pose a problem.
However, if your make-up is comedogenic, it will initiate plugging of the pilosebaceous glands (clogged pores) regardless of whether you apply sunscreen over the top of it.
The majority of over-the-counter make-up is comedogenic. Even products labeled "non-comedogenic" can cause acne cosmetica in the acne-prone person. To ensure that your make-up is completely non-comedogenic, take it to an acne specialist for a closer look.
