Ugh, the many times I had to hear people say something stupid like “Well why don’t you wash your face?!” As if I’m just walking around with a dirty face all the time. Like I haven’t thought of that! What a genius you are!

Seriously, there are several reasons why people can have acne both in their teens as well as in adulthood. I’ve gotten my acne under control for the most part, but all I have do is go one night without taking my makeup off before bed (judge me if you want, I be tired) and all of a sudden it is road bump city. That or just my hormones wanting to ruin my good time.

As someone who has done it in the past, I definitely would not recommend people coat a bunch of makeup on top of it. Like you said, it’s irritating for the skin and it also tends to make matters worse when it’s not properly removed. I still wear makeup but I’m now very thorough when I’m removing it.
