I have horrible dry skin patches on my forehead where the skin is all flaky and dry. I only use E45 but ive seen no difference.
does anyone know of any good exfoilaters,cleansers, toners which will suit dry skin and are good???
also its my brothers wedding and i want to wear foundation but it always looks dry and flaky on my forehead. Does anyone know of any good foundations for dry skin. Also is it better if i used pressed or loose powder to set the foundation??
i dont really know anything else then E45 for dry skin, do u use soap when washing ur face maybe u shud use the E45 wash its really good, but otherwise using clensers and toners i would of thought that would make it worse?
Sometimes when my skin is really sensitive i put vaseline on my face before i go to sleep. Otherwise i suggest you go and see your DR and for the foundation i think clinique are quite good !
XSHX, if u have dry skin u should opt for liquid foundations and also try other brands as MAC foundations r quite heavy in texture - try Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Imaan, Calvin Klein or even Elizabeth Arden as their foundations are much lighter than MAC foundations. Also, dont use stick or pressed foundations as they dont blend in to dry skins, the more u try n blend them d more ur skin flakes...
Another tip is to ensure ur skin is at its best- drink 8 to 10 glasses of water, eat a good healthy diet wid plenty of fruit n veggies, if required take evening primrose oil capsules as they help wid hormonal balance/monthly cycle and also give u healthier skin.... trust me it all helps, if ur skin is in good condition then makeup will set better n look better on u...
Lastly, apply a light moisturiser before u apply a foundation - allow moisturiser at least a minute to settle into d skin... I find Oil of Olay, Boots own range and Body Shop's own range quite good in moisturisers.
