Do you wear makeup when your skin is acting up?
Beautiful with brains says: it depends on how bad it is acting up and if I have to go out. I find that my skin clears up sooner if I just let it breathe and usually that’s what I do. But if I have a special occasion to go to then I will wear makeup.

Libertfly, aww grazie mille. Sono contenta che ti piaccia il mio blog e spero di vederti qui spesso.
Grazie anche per il premio, sono onorata!
Under my eyes only, if my dark circles are bad, but either than that I don’t wear anything at all. I just wear my glasses and that’s what keeps me sane, lol.

Dee, I like wearing a bit of concealer if my dark circles are really, really bad and I need to go out. But usually not wearing anything is best. It is frustrating but skin clears up sooner that way.
When I used to have acne I didn’t want to leave the house with all my zits showing so I would definitely wear makeup to cover them up. Of course that made them worse, but eventually it led me to realize all of the products I was using on my face contained pore clogging ingredients. Now that my face is better I still wear makeup all the time – to cover redness, sun spots, etc. So no matter what – I wear makeup!

Jeni, the products you use to cover up imperfections certainly make a difference. If they are comedogenic, your skin is never going to get better. My skin clears up sooner when I just let it breathe but if I’m gonna wear makeup, I make sure the products I use don’t contain ingredients that may make things much worse.
I try not to. If my skin is already bad, I don’t want to make it worse with makeup. It took a lot of training and self-control for me not to apply makeup during those times but it’s so worth it.
Dao, I completely agree with you. It’s hard not to cover up imperfections but it does help in clearing skin up sooner.
I try not to wear makeup, or I wear only powder and take my makeup off as soon as possible. I noticed that if I leave skin free it gets better sooner but I can’t leave home with bare face!

La Bisbetica, it feels so uncomfortable when your skin is a mess and you have to go out without wearing makeup. But then, it’ll take longer to heal if you don’t. *sighs* But I think that using products without comedogenic ingredients and taking everything off as soon as possible is a good compromise.
Nope, I just let my skin heal
.
Ana, that’s good. I do that too.
I’ll let it breathe without makeup if i don’t have to be anywhere. If I have to look “done,” I’ll pack on that concealer, lol!

Tammy, I agree with you. It’s always best to let skin breathe but sometimes we just have to wear makeup and concealer can be really handy then!
Mabey a little lipgloss and face powder!
Prettykitty, that’s nice. It’ll help cover up imperfections and make you look polished.
Nope. No make up, even no concealer if my skin behaves in a mad way. Unfortunately I suffer from rosacea, so this happens more often than usual.
Mylanqolia, I’m sorry to hear that, how awful!
Best to let skin breathe then.
