Facts and fables about acne

We have listed the most important myths and facts for you:

Using make-up can make pimples worse

Fact! Acne comes from within. However, makeup can still worsen acne. Therefore, cleanse your skin thoroughly after using makeup. If you don't do this, your pores can become clogged, which could lead to breakouts. Do you have acne and would like to use makeup? Then choose mineral makeup.

It is best not to pop your pimples yourself

Fact! You can damage your skin by squeezing pimples yourself. That is why it is better to leave them alone.
