Women spend thousands of dollars to create a flawless face. Yet faulty or uninformed uses of moisturizers and makeup can lead to inexplicable breakouts for women.The two key symbols to remember when applying makeup and moisturizers are cotton and
feather. Cotton symbolizes need to use clean applicators when applying makeup. The feather represents light application of makeup and moisturizers.
Here are four biggest mistakes women make in their beauty regime that can lead to acne and ways to remedy them.
1.Re-using a consealer applicator
You have a zit and you want to hide it. So what do you do? Dip your consealer applicator in bottle and apply liquid cover directly to inflamed zit, right. No. Reapplying consealer to your face with applicator provided by manufacturer does one thing only, spread more bacteria. Once you apply consealer to your face with applicator wand, you simply return it to bottle where bacteria have a whole container in which to flourish. Giving bacteria a breeding ground is what causes acne in first place, so don’t give them new real estate in which to reproduce.
Solution:
To avoid this, apply your consealer with a cotton swab and never, ever use applicator stick provided by consealer manufacturer. This will ensure that your consealer applications are always fresh and free of as much bacteria as possible.
2. Re-using a foundation sponge
The reasons for not re-using a foundation sponge are same as reason for not re-using a consearler applicator, you want to limit spread of bacteria.
Solution:
Never use foundation sponge provided by manufacturer of cosmetic. Instead, use a cotton ball to apply your foundation. This way, each of your foundation applications will be clean.
