Re: I am a Makeup Artist - How can i be of help? ![]()
Hi there, ok as for the acne, I can tell you what I have been using and what has helped me a great deal. I have been suffering from acne too. I didnt get any spots in my teenage years and the minute I turned 23 BANG all of a sudden my face was full of acne.. I tried all sorts and after a year ended up to skin specialists and doctors. I was prescribed minocycline which has cleared up all my acne. I was also given Dalacin T lotion to apply on my face twice a day and again that has helped alot too. But these can only be obtained on perscription so it depends on your doctor if they feel this is suitable for your skin. Apart from that, I have been using the clinique three step system for my skin for combination skin, which is what you have too. Oily T zone and slightly dry else where. As for the foundation, I have been using mineral powder by Bodyshop. It is much more gentle than normal cream / liquid foundations as the mineral powders are finely ground therefore they dont clog up your pores…
Dont use stick foundations as they will clog up your pores and also spread acne. You can also use illuminating creams under the foundation to get a brighter looking complexion… hope this helps.
