We put a lot of time, effort, and money into looking beautiful
(or handsome, depending on your gender). Americans fork over nearly $9
billion annually for creams, scrubs, concealers, and a drawer-full of
other cosmetics that claim to keep our skin looking clean, clear, and
more youthful.
Ironically, the very
same products you rely on to keep your skin looking its best could be
doing your pores a big disservice. Using the wrong makeup or cream could
actually accentuate the pimples you're trying so hard to hide.
Caring for "acne-prone skin" requires some careful cosmetic
sleuthing -- reading labels to find products that won't clog your pores
and lead to more breakouts
