Excessive makeup is damaging to skin

Question

Even though applying makeup is fun and can improve confidence, using too much all at once can have negative impact to skin, such as clogging pores, causing breakouts, and irritating skin. It is better to limit the use of makeup to minimize effects it might cause in the future.

Answer 1

The claim stating that makeup is damaging skin is very misleading. Makeup can be a way to express oneself and their identity. In doing so many people where makeup everyday, which can lead to clogged pores and further on wrinkles IF they are not taking proper care of their makeup and their skin. In the article provided with the claim only states the negative effects of makeup but in reality they are not that bad as it seems. There are steps into making sure that your skin is prepped for the makeup, whether that's for 6 hours or 12.  As well as making sure that their makeup brushes are clean and that their station in doing the makeup is clean.

Answer 2

As some who does where makeup mostly everyday it can lead to dryness of skin, inflammation and can be acne prone. Most ingredients in makeup are bad for your skin but NOT ALL damage the skin. Nowadays, people have created makeup that doesn't damage your skin but keeps it hydrated and helps prevent acne. One important factor of wearing makeup is keeping up with your daily skincare routine and washing your face before and after wearing makeup. A dermatologist perspective on wearing makeup is, "When used properly with a skin care routine, makeup doesn’t permanently damage the skin. The key is to apply makeup mindfully, use quality products and thoroughly wash your skin at the end of the day." One thing I do that is not good is sleep with my makeup on occasionally but realizing the potential of what makeup can do for you skin has me washing and do a skincare routine everyday. 

Even though this part is different but related not all girls need makeup to look beautiful. Not wearing makeup but a natural/bare face is something to not be ashamed of. But also people wear makeup cause they like it and enhances there features. As long as there is no permanent damage to the face and people take care of the skin than nothing else matters.
