Skin Essentials - Does make-up do more harm than good?

Does make-up do more harm than good? Who HERE applies make-up to their SKIN everyday? Do You Think You Need It? I'Ve heard All tHe ComPlAinTs about bad skin this, and bad skin that? BUT, what are u doing to rectify this?!

Acne is often caused by lack of drinking water

(Water is a free cleanser inside and outside the body, USE IT)

I found this article by Discovery health magazine. I was looking for an article that spoke about the effects of make-up. Granted, everyone's skin is unique and are affected differently by make-up, plus it depends on how much you wear, how often you wear, the type of make-up it is (the company that makes it, and whether its liquid, powder, etc.) and how you cleanse your face before and after you wear the make-up.

Please, Please, Please read it, especially if you have skin issues. Personally, I don't have a lot of skin issues, but I do have enough to keep me interested in finding out the best way to take care of my skin. As i get older, I want to eat healthier because doing so affects my skin. I remember when someone asked me what I did to keep my skin clean (of course this was like 5yrs ago, i'm an old fart now) and I said um......eat healthy i guess, since I don't wear make-up or cleanse my face regularly. If I did cleanse it, I would use clinique's toner and Neutrogena's face scrub once a week if even.

As for my skin now, it seems more ridden with small heat bumps...nothing too noticeable to others, but noticeable enough for me. I wear make-up when I attend church sometimes and IF my skin is not behaving for a special dinner/lunch date or something, but during the week O__o not so much, it's no biggie to me really. I'd rather be clear of make-up because I get lazy taking it off. *shrug*  I use light make-up, keep it natural for the most part, if I want to get jazzy I may add a tint of some color on the eye lid for good measure, but I'd rather keep it simple and look fresh. BTW, having a fresh arched brow does WONDERS for ShApIng ur Face, u'd be SUPRISED by the DiFfeReNce ThAt MakEs!

Ladies, stay beautiful and healthy. Wash Yo face! and Drink Lots of Water! MuAh!
