As many of you regularly ask for my recommendations on natural make up for acne, I thought it was about time I compiled a huge resource of all my favourite cosmetics in the US and UK for natural acne healing. Most of the recommendations below are products that I have used myself and highly recommend. I always avoid hormone disruptors, pore clogging ingredients and other unnecessary fillers and preservatives as possible and always opt for the most effective ingredients that have been proven to have great results against acne.

Please bear in mind that I only ever recommend brands and cosmetics that I have personally tried, tested and loved and will never support a brand that doesn’t share my philosophy and ethos.

* 100% Pure 2nd Skin Foundation and Concealer contain Squalane from Olive Oil, this ingredient isn’t the same as pure Olive Oil – which can be pore clogging in some acne sufferers. For the majority of people, Squalane is NOT comedogenic and has many wonderful skin benefits so shouldn’t be feared. However, if you do have concerns I would opt for the 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Foundation and Concealer instead.
** Naturismo do stock a very limited range of 100% Pure, but you can pick up the whole range directly from the 100% Pure site with free postage with orders over £35 – however you may get a customs charge!
