Makeup For Oily Skin - What You Need to Know

As all women who have oily skin know, you need to be careful to choose the best makeup for oily skin to ensure you don't get any sort of acne breakouts.

There are a many cosmetic lines out there, but most of them are not designed for women with oily skin. If you have greasy skin, you are far more likely to suffer from blemish breakouts - something you definitely avoid.

Now the thing to realize here is that blemishes are caused by too much oil in the skin. Oil produced inside the hair follicles, called sebum, normally moves along the hair to the outside of the skin pore. But sometimes, the movement of sebum oil is blogged by other dried sebum, dirt, etc. The blockage causes the sebum to mix with dead skin cells, bacteria, and dirt. The result is a blackhead.

Quite often, that blackhead will turn into a pimple because the area around the blackhead is more prone to infection, probably due to higher levels of bacteria present there. This infection of the P. acnes bacteria causes pimple outbreaks.

So, as you see, it's important that you try to reduce the level of oil in your skin. Wearing a makeup not friendly to oily skin will trap all the oil underneath and cause breakouts. Make up for oil-prone skin should NEVER be oil-based. Oil-based makeup will clog up your pores and lead to the development of blackheads - if you have a lot of natural oil in your skin. You should also seek out natural makeup for oily skin that contains only natural ingredients. This ensures that you don't have any sort of harsh chemicals irritating your skin and causing acne breakouts.

Consider getting a special makeup for acne prone skin to ensure you don't have those nasty pimple breakouts occurring.
