Mrs. Z,
To answer your questions:
--yes, my skin is MUCH clearer if I cease with all foundation. Not even on an occasional basis. It makes my skin break out big time by the next day, even if i have it on just once in a while and for only a few hours. I've tried probably 10+ different kinds of foundation, same result. Same is true if I wear any kind of lotion or cream that is too heavy. I think the principle is the same: skin just can't breathe. I doubt a "more natural" makeup would be helpful...however YMMV. I know it's hard (I eventually developed Rosacea likely as a result of constant BP usage for acne; I always want to cover up the redness) but really it may help like you found the other summer to just stay away from it. My derm was pretty clear about not using foundation as well.
--I wash with Aquanil 2x day. It's very mild. it will likely not remove foundation from your face, it will only gently clean your skin.
Hope this helps.
