my skin gets dry pretty easily. so after washing my face at night and putting an acne medication on, i will wake up in the morning and simply put makeup on without washing my face first. is there any harm in this?

DarkDesire23 answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 12:14 pm: Yes,there is some harm if your skin it the type that get pimples.It'll most likely give you a higher risk of getting acne.At night,you should put your acne medication on,then moisturizer.over night,the things on your bed and pillow will go on your skin.Thats why in the morning,you have to either wash your face with soap and water,or an acne medication.(to stop from getting clogged porse,which lead to acne!)Lightly moisturize,then put on your makeup.Some makeup will say on the bottle "cleanse skin before applying". But,if your acne medication you use at night is very strong,and you dont have oily skin around your nose when you wake up or throught out the day,you might want to use water befor applying any kind of make-up.
i hope i helped!! :)

GOOD LUCK! [ greeneyedgirl9o's advice column | Ask greeneyedgirl9o A Question ]
soccerplayer5674 answered Tuesday May 2 2006, 3:57 pm: Yes because acne medication opens up your pores. Even just washing your face first could be bad because that too opens up your pores.
When your pores are open and you put makeup in the make up fills your pores, causing pimples.
What you should do is put a moisturizer on first before the makeup, that way your pores are filled with good moisturizer instead of bad make up.
Once the moisturizer is in you can put on any make up you want.
