I only wear foundation for special occasions that I want to look really great but I know I will pay for it within a few hours and start seeing pimples. I just use a mineral powder by Mary Kay with blush and clean my brushes OFTEN (very important if you are prone to acne ). I use Mary Kay skin care as well, their time wise cleanser and moisturizer and the acne gel for spot blemish treatment. They also have a blemish control toner but it is very strong and if your skin is sensitive it would not be good for you but I use it occasionally.
Also, DIET, DIET DIET - if you have not I HIGHLY recommend that you start trying to cut down on dairy and grains and sugar. It is tough. I first went with just cutting out gluten and that helped a lot. My acne almost disappeared. I am currently trying to find the balance of what I can have a little of and what I need to avoid altogether. Try doing one thing at a time, like dairy for instance, and do it for 3 to 4 weeks and see what happens. I have been experimenting for almost 2 years. Its all trial and error and finding a combo of what works and what you can live without.
Good luck and know there is lots of us out there that feel your pain! |
