Just because a product contains "Natural" ingredients, does not mean it is going to be good for your skin. While non-toxic brands often promote their foundations as "skin loving", not all non-toxic foundations are created equal, and what works for one skin type may be horrible for those with oily or acne prone skin types. Here I'm going to break down what ingredients to avoid and which foundations you should consider if you have oily or acne prone skin. This list does not pertain to sensitive or dry skin types.

Great makeup starts with great skin. Let's talk about acne. Now let's talk about having adult acne. I am 23 and I can finally say, I am a recovering acne sufferer. First things first, my acne is by no means 100% gone forever, and every person's skin type is different. I highly recommend a consistent routine, and taking the time to assess what your body reacts to. I also attribute part of my skin's improvement to following a Vegan diet. Whether your skin type is like mine, or you're looking for a Vegan and clean skincare routine, let's dive in.
