There are seven rules for a healthy care regime, which include:
 1. Avoid penetrating oils. Contrary to popular belief, not all oils are comedogenic. Mineral oil, petroleum products and sunflower oil do not permeate into the pore. However, most cosmetic oils can aggravate acne, so try to avoid them. One of the most common acne triggers in skin products, especially sunscreens and lotions, is lanolin, a fatty acid extracted from sheep’s wool. Isopropyl Myristate, which promotes smooth, even application in many foundations, is such an aggressive penetrator that it’s the main ingredient in most make-up removers. In general, products labeled “oil-free” and "non-comedogenic" are less likely to clog your pores and trigger breakouts.
2. Steer clear of sweet smells. Aroma is a one of the major cause of irritant and allergic reactions on the face. Even products that claim to be inodorous may include aroma added to mask the smell of other ingredients. It is the best to stick with products labeled as “aroma -free” or “hypo-allergenic.” Of course, reactions to smell differ dramatically, and you may find certain perfumes that don’t affect your skin. The most common smells are the aromas of bergamot, ambrette, cinnamate and musk families. If you bye a new face cream test it, applying it on the skin behind your ear. If no irritation appears three days after testing, you may continue usage on a larger area.
3. Be smart about shadow and blush. The matter that often puts the sparkle in your eye shadow, face powder and blush is mica, a common mineral. The coarse, flaky shape of mica elements can cause irritation or clogging the pores so it’s best to use products without too much shimmer. Moreover, many of the red dyes used to put a bloom in your cheeks are coal tar derivatives; not surprisingly, these substances are also harmful for your pores. Check the labels for blushes that use carmine, which has been a natural, healthy cosmetic colorant. In addition, cream blushes are more likely to have comedogenic ingredients, so stick to powder or gel blushes.
4. Get wise to eye creams. The skin around eyes is rather sensitive. Creams created for this area are often more oily than regular facial moisturizers. That is why such creams may cause milia, little white bladders under the eyes. These kinds of cream can also get to adjacent areas, creating acne on the temples, cheeks and forehead.
5. Style your hair with care. Most hair products include many ingredients we keep away from our skin: alcohol, oils and adhesives. So if you have acne, be careful when styling your hair, cover your skin when you spray, and try to keep mousses, oils, gels and pomades away from the skin at the hairline. In addition, don’t use hair products when you training, sweat from your scalp can transport your styling products onto your skin, contributing to new breakouts.
6. Wash after exercising. While we know that sweat doesn’t cause acne, it can promote it in those who are prone — and make-up can make matters worse. Even non-comedogenic products can cause clogging or irritation in the presence of heavy perspiration. As a rule, it’s best to wash immediately after exercising with a medicated exfoliating cleanser.
7. Use the right lip lube. If you have problems with spot near the mouth area, you need to examine the products you use on your lips. Lipsticks and glosses include high quantity of wax, oils, petroleum and other comedogenic products in its structure. The more is shine, the more is the potential for pore clogging. Therefore, if you notice skin irritation around the mouth area, try to change your gloss or lipstick.
Choose your cosmetics carefully; seek for products that are non-comedogenic and oil-free. Read labels carefully to avoid common topical triggers. In addition, use your common sense; if a product that looks okay on the label is irritating your skin, discontinue usage right away.
