Make-up causes acne.

Although most of today's commonly used make-up and skin care products are non-comedogenic (non-acne forming), there are definitely ingredients that you need to stay away from.  Look for products with labels that include the terms " non-comedogenic", "oil-free" (water-based) and "hypoallergenic" (non-allergy causing with no added fragrances).  Some ingredients to avoid in your skin care products include alcohol, isopropyl myristate, lanolin, sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium laureth sulphate, propylene glycol, mineral oil and parabens.  Find out more about topical skin care acne treatments.
