BeneFit High Beam

If you’ve read my How To Prevent Cosmetic Acne post, you know that all sorts of skin care products and cosmetics may contain ingredients that clog pores, which then cause acne. Whenever I buy a new product, I always check the ingredients, and make sure none of the first ten ingredients are on my list. Recently a friend of mine gave me BeneFit High Beamwhich is a great face highlighter that you can use on your browbones, cheeks, or anywhere you want a bit of a glow. You can also mix it with your foundation to give your face an all-over glow.

I put the High Beam on last night and marveled at how great it looked. It gives a subtle pink/silver sheen to the areas on your face you wish to highlight. Then I remembered to check the ingredients, and was super sad that it contained several ingredients to avoid if you are acne-prone:( I could still use this on my browbones, since obviously I don’t get acne there, but there’s no way I’d use it on my cheeks or anywhere else. I will be on the lookout now for a face highlighter that is safe for acne-prone skin. The High Beam is great to use if you don’t get acne.

So my point is to check every single product you own if you do indeed have acne or are prone to getting it. And don’t use anything until you’ve read its ingredients. Even blush, and face powder can contain bad ingredients. Also check your concealer, eye cream, and every single other product you put on your face! The only thing I don’t check are mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, and eyeliner.opiate detox
