Mistake 8: Not taking steps to prevent new breakouts

Your overarching goal when it comes to covering up breakouts should be to treat them so that they don't continuously happen. "If you find yourself looking for more concealers, makeup and coverage options, then it's time to take a step back and see a dermatologist," Ilyas says. "Why keep concealing when you can treat?" Schedule a visit with your dermatologist so that you can address the underlying issue and potential cause of your repeated breakouts so that you'll have less to cover up in the first place.
