Hello,

Since you are getting blemishes after makeup, you are suggested to stay away from heavy makeup for a couple of days. You can use light make up and highlight your eyes and lips to look presentable. Blemishes are commonly caused by chemical ingredients that are harsh for your skin type. Bathe regularly. Avoid exposure to sunlight. Remove makeup at bed time with a soft cotton ball dipped in rose water.

Do it gently so that your skin gets clean and wash your face with a good herbal face wash or a home made face pack (with milk, turmeric and sandalwood powder). Turmeric has antibiotic properties. You can apply a thin layer of cream containing hydroquinone. It will help to lighten age spots, acne scarring, and melasma. Take vegetarian diet over non veg food. Take food rich in vitamin C and E to keep skin healthy and blemish free. To get rid of acne you can use creams containing salicylic acid to unclog pores. A course of oral antibiotics like Doxycycline-100mg is effective to control acne.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
