These makeup mistakes can ruin your skin

By Sneha Das

1

Not prepping your skin

Not prepping your skin before applying your makeup can make your face appear cakey and you can end up with uneven coverage, dullness, or dry patches.

2

Using a dry makeup sponge

A dry makeup sponge tends to soak up excess product and make your makeup look patchy. Therefore, squish the sponge under water about eight times before using it.

3

Using lipstick as blush

Substituting blush with lipstick is not the best hack for sensitive skin as lipstick contains darker pigments meant for lips and a blend of various metals that can cause skin issues.

4

Taming your brows with soap

Dermatologists say that using soap on brows is highly harmful and can damage your skin as the regular soap is too alkaline. It can also cause temporary hair loss.

5

Covering up blemishes with makeup

Using makeup to cover up blemishes can further clog pores, worsen inflammation, and delay the healing process due to the oils and synthetic perfumes used in it.
