Can I apply makeup immediately after squeezing or treating pimples?

After squeezing a pimple, you should wait at least 12-24 hours before applying makeup. Yes, because squeezing pimples often leaves small wounds or irritation on the skin. If you apply makeup immediately afterward, it could easily cause the wounds to become clogged or infected by the cosmetics.

If you need to wear makeup. Ideally, you should choose gentle, non-comedogenic products and make sure to thoroughly cleanse your face when you get home. Don't forget to care for your skin after extracting pimples, such as using products to reduce inflammation or redness, like aloe vera gel or a cream recommended by your doctor.

Allowing your skin to rest fully will help you achieve the best results in acne treatment.
