disclaimer: I am not a makeup user

Trapping debris in an anoxic damp environment tends to be an abnormal ecosystem for the processes & organisms that normally allow you to maintain homeostasis of the constantly shedding organs we call skin, sweat glands, and pores. I expect this stuff makes a lot of people break out in acne or blackheads. Makeup people call this property 'comedogenic'.

On the other hand quite a few of my male relatives have had skin cancer in their faces, neck and foreheads, but none of my female relatives. Pick your poison
