Bronzers can cause acne? Or Maybe allergic Reaction? Hmm…?



For about two months I had horrible acne. I wash my face with ProActiv daily and could not figure out what the issue was. I was exfoliating, using other brands, got oxy-10 spot treatment (All these products work for break outs before) but nothing helped. I was getting it all on my neck, small bumps on my forehead and also on my cheeks and chin area. It was ridiculous to look at. Anyhow, I was wondering.. am I alergic to Bronzers and blushes (blushes make me break out too) or is it something in the product that can cause breakouts?


For make up I use Bare Minerals and only the bronzer has given me breakouts.

Currently, I have stopped using the bronzer for a week now, and my skin is perfect. A few pimples are still in place, but they are visibly going away.

Was just wondering what on earth happened. lol .. I was looking into seeing a dermotologist it was so bad, haha. I didn't even have acne that bad in High School! Yeeeesh!

  1. just dont use the bronzer anymore. if you really really want to have bronzer just try using a little of a diffrent brand.
    test it on the underside of your arm. if it gets irritated dont use it.
    yes im pretty sure its a allergic reaction. also if you take a benydril it will make your acne go away cuz its an allergic reaction.

    hope i helped huN!
