Need some skin and make up advice, can you help?
I have very fair sensitive skin, and I always have some sort of red spots or patches that I can never seem to cover up. My pores are also very large and clogged. I take care of my skin, I wash, tone, use a moisturizer with spf, but my skin is awful. I’m 19 and breast feeding so I think my hormones are still out of whack which might be be part of the problem but what can I do to remove my black heads,make my pores smaller, improve my skin and help eliminate redness?
Also I can never cover up my imperfections or red zones with out looking like a cake faced clown, any tips?
I just use moisturizer as my base, are primers over rated or are they actually helpful?
My skin is very dry and oily which really affects how long my make up lasts (an hour tops) any tips for that? I drink lots of water every day and take a multi vitamin but it’s always dry. and makeup just dries it out more.
It is probably the breast feeding.
I think your skin needs simplicity. Those toners do more harm than good, especially for your skin type. It’ll dry you out, your skin will then produce excess oil to balance it out, which in turn leads to clogged pores! I’d wash it morning and night with dove soap and moisturize it with an oil free moisturizer. Not wearing make up is probably a good idea to clear it up. Chug down all the water you can bare. Stay away from sweets. Eat healthy (As I’m sure you’re doing already because you’re breast feeding). Don’t touch your face! Using head and shoulders shampoo a couple times weekly to wash your face helps. Also, to clean up redness, visine (the eyedrops) for red eyes actually helps reduce the red skin inflammation.
