Causes of inflammation
Mostly acne on the face occurs as a result of improper skin care. But there are also a number of factors affecting their education. So, for example, when you frequently touch your face with unwashed hands, the cells of the epidermis are clogged with household dirt, dust, chemistry, and just skin fat. Therefore, in order to touch the face, you must first wash your hands or often clean the skin with tonic and lotions. Now, especially for this, branded manufacturers produce mycelial water.
If the skin has a tendency to appear inflammations, the environment can cause a worsening of the situation: heat, rain, dust and even ordinary cleaning with the help of chemicals. Sensitive epidermis instantly reacts to pathogenic flora. Not uncommon - cases of hormonal fights, stress and lack of vitamins. Then the cause of the inflammation comes from within.

Therefore, before getting rid of acne, it is necessary to determine the cause of their appearance.

So, the skin is cleansed and applied moisturizer. But what kind of masking tool to choose, will help a detailed review of each of them.
- Pencil (or stick). Perhaps this is the most convenient type of corrector due to its compactness and the possibility of using it locally. Brand brands have been producing two- and three-color pencils for a long time. If two-tone flowers have a palette of green (removes redness and has an anti-inflammatory effect) and bodily (directly tonal) colors, then in the latter case pink has also been added to eliminate strong skin pigmentation.
- Foundation (or BB and CC creams). The product is selected according to the type and shade of the epidermis. Only now the tonal tool should always be a tone lighter than necessary and not have a pink subtone. The most effective for masking inflammations are flesh tone and ivory color. And for a more natural make-up, it is better to give preference to moisturizing toning products. Too dense a layer can create a mask effect.

How to use a foundation for acne?
The first stage, of course, will be a high-quality skin cleansing. Subsequent action requires degreasing of the epidermis with the help of special tonics or mycelial lotion. Moisturize the skin and proceed to the disguise. Before you gloss over the acne, you need to apply a thin layer of the base under the makeup with a sponge or brush (depending on the chosen tool). Next, locally applied green corrector. The main thing is to keep a sense of proportion, otherwise the problem areas will have a characteristic tint.
Flesh-colored concealer applied dotted on spots. Only here the feathering should be neat and without pressure in order to avoid the opposite effect.
The foundation is applied all over the face and gently shaded with the help of fingers or a brush. However, if there is one rash, you can limit yourself to masking only this area. If large areas of the face are affected, the cream should be distributed over the neck and décolleté areas. Otherwise, the face will look unnatural. Loose powder is suitable as a matting agent and for fixing makeup. Application should be carried out with a special brush.
Tricks of disguise
In addition to the usual recommendations for masking inflammation, experts give some more useful tips when creating makeup:
- You can not squeeze acne, so as not to increase inflammation;
- It is preferable to use brand-name cosmetics on a natural basis, not causing allergies;
- Choose a product with a minimum fat content, otherwise the risk of pore clogging is high;
- Use clean hands or a brush to apply toning agents. Or as often as possible to rinse cosmetic sponge.
- When working with the face, actions should be performed with light movements, in order not to provoke redness and irritation of the epidermis and existing inflammations;
- Use toning products only for their intended purpose and immediately before leaving;
- With minor rashes, you can divert attention from him, focusing on the opposite part of the face. For example, if a problem arose on the forehead area, then it is worth highlighting with bright lipstick. And if acne appeared on the lower part of the face, then we focus on the eyes. Inflammation in the middle of the face can be hidden only by a natural light make-up.
