Ok. First of all, my skin itches like crazy every time I have makeup on and I get too hot (I'm thinking maybe I'm allergic to this makeup, but it is Bare Minerals, and it is suppossed to be hypoallergenic). I also have a fairly bad case of adult acne. I've been to the dermatologist and used every over the counter product....nothing seems to work! Does anyone know of any makeup that would be good for me to use? Help!!
Itchy, acne prone skin. Help!!?
Unfortunately, hypoallergenic doesn't mean it is for everyone. It certainly sounds like an allergy, which could be the source of your adult acne. Are you using a moisturizer, or scented soap that could be causing the acne?
Pro-active didn't work for me, it really didn't change anything (I used it faithfully by-the-book for 2 1/2 months).
I've spent thousands on makeup and cleansers and creams, but most products made it worse.
I finally tamed my adult acne down by using Dove soap for a cleanser (sensitive skin or the green aloe vera kind). I don't use a moisturizer, it just makes the acne worse. I let my skin air dry and I don't wear makeup.
I know most women would never think of not wearing makeup, but I didn't find it a good trade off. The blemishes just don't cover properly, and the itching was driving me nuts!
You might be surprised at how good you can look with groomed eyebrows, a bit of mascara and some colored lip gloss.
Your skin may take almost a month to recover from the makeup and the blemishes to subside, but I found the pay-off was worth it.
I've actually gotten compliments about my 'makeup' and inquiries as to how I accomplished the 'natural' look.
Good luck!
Reply:if u havent tried proactive, i think u should try it. it has worked for me for a long while now. it can be pricy to buy every 2 months. but i will fork it out for clear skin. the catch i think is that when u stop using it ,, acne will come back. so u have to continue buying it. i do think they sale make up too. check into it... good luck
