I got acne after wearing makeup for the first time in a while.

My skin is sensitive, so I usually don't wear makeup at all, only once a week on weekends for dates. However, my skin barrier has been compromised lately, so I had no choice but to wear makeup again today for a picnic, and now three pimples have popped up.

For now, I plan to apply an antibiotic ointment as a spot treatment before going to bed. Although I've heard that antibiotics can lead to resistance with overuse, they are the most effective remedy for red acne breakouts like this. I think it would be best to take a break from procedures for the time being.

I'm curious what methods you use when your skin barrier is compromised but you absolutely have to wear makeup.
