Five dots makeup

According to board-certified dermatologist Michele Green, MD, makeup itself doesn't age your skin. However, certain ingredients in makeup can certainly work against your skin's natural aging process.

Makeup can be classified into three categories: everyday, medical and theatrical. These categories include items that improve the appearance of or highlights the face, eyes, lips or nails. Some are designed to be used with other makeup.

Makeup isn't totally bad for your skin, but it can cause problems if you practice unhealthy makeup habits. Developing these routines will help create a safe environment for your skin. Even though these are simple tips, they'll help save you from unwanted acne, aging, and dry or oily skin.
