Unless you're one of the lucky few with naturally flawless skin, you’ll grapple with acne at least some point in life. During those teenage years, our hormones cause glands to produce excess oil on the skin, which can leave it shiny and prone to breakouts. When too much oil is produced, it traps dirt, dead skin cells, and debris in the hair follicle, resulting in large, painful pimples. Acne in men generally clears in their early twenties as their hormones balance, but women may struggle with acne every month during a certain time in their cycle. When hormones fluctuate you're more likely to get acne, so any major life change can make breakouts worse.

Yes! Use our everyday mineral makeup kits along with your dermatologist’s recommended regimen. Together, our gentle mineral makeup powder and your recommended skin routine can help minimize acne and leave you blemish free. Incorporate simple habits to further help your skin, like washing your face gently with warm water and dabbing it dry. Avoid harsh exfoliates that might aggravate the sensitive skin on your face, and use our natural mineral makeup powder to avoid irritation.
