I have unbelievably dry skin, i have some acne, not excessive though. and i am very pale so i dont want to look orange. what type of face wash, moisturizer and foundation should i use?What kind of ';face makeup'; should i use?
Start taking vitamin E and C for your skin. Get a face lotion with vitamin e, try St. Ives. Dont use too much, just in the dry spots at night after you rinse your makeup off before bed. Mineral make is great you can get a clear powder foundation. Be sure to rinse it off before bed though. Try an exfoliating face wash, St. Ives again is good. Im in Washington and go to Walmart for these items. The face lotion here is around $6, mineral powder foundation $10 and the face wash about $4.
Good LuckWhat kind of ';face makeup'; should i use?
I have dry skin too with little or no oil on it so I feel your pain. However I have a darker complexion because I frequent the tanning bed. I use proactive solution even though I don't have acne and it works great, I don't think it dries my skin out even more at all. Since you don't have much acne I would start with a tinted moisturzizer on top of your every day moisturizer instead of foundation because foundation can be very heavy and hard to match to your skin tone. Remember to only apply makeup if you just washed cleansed and moisturized your skin. If you have some acne areas use concealer on those spots with a finishing powder one shade lighter than your skin on top so you don't draw more attention to the zit. I use stilla sheer color tinted moisturizer you can get it at sephora for around thirty five dollars but if you see looking to pay less try clinique almost makeup tinted moisturizer I think its nineteen. These both work great and give your whole face a natural glow. I personnaly barely ever use concealer because I am blessed with clear skin but clinique and almay have nice ones that don't get flaky and dry looking. Over the tinted moisturizer try some finishing powder. I use bare minerals multi tasking minerals and clear radiance to set the tinted moisturizer. I think these are both around twenty five or thirty. Then I use a bit of light bronzer with golden undertones on my cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, all the areas the sun would naturally hit. I love bare minerals warmth or clinique true bronze pressed powder. For you since you are light skinned try a bronzer with peach undertones so you do not look orange and never over do the bronzer or you will look like your face is a different color than your body. The clinique one is like twenty two and the bare minerals one twenty five or thirty. I finish with blush, usually bare minerals blush in laughter which is around twenty. I know some of these products are expensive but they last a while and the quality is much better than most drug store brands. also remember the trick to great natural face makeup is the right tools so invest in a nice pair of brushes from bare minerals clinique or sephora. Also on natural days I apply only the tinted moisturizer with a bit of almond oil on my cheeks and forehead for a dewy glow. Good luck! I hope these products work for you.
for face wash and mosturizer, i would strongly reccomend asking a dermatologist. there are many different kinds of mosturizers, and getting a professional to look at your skin and tell you whats the best for your problem is the smartest advice i can give you.
some dermatologists (like mine) even sell their own face products themselves, so you can ask about that too...
as for foundation, i use almay just because its really nice for your skin and doesnt cause breakouts. its got different kinds of foundations for different skin types and lots of fun eye makeup too to play up a specific eye color.
I LOVE BARE ESSENTIALS.
The set starts off at 60 dollars which seems like a lot, but it comes with many brushes and primers (which i use as a moisturizer as well...) After that, each one is only about 25 dollars.

dior makes an amazing face set its a bit on the pricey end, but if your skin is irritating you, the creme is really amazing.

Go to a clinique counter and they will find the powder and foundation shade that is right for u...also i use apricot scrub(about $3.50 at walmart) face wash be sure to get st.ives the real kind bc the walmart brand is only 50 cents cheaper and smells really bad and doesnt work half as good!!..and i use clean and clear face moisturizer that also helps prevent bumps while it moisturizes :) and its only about $3 too and both work REALLY well for me :):):)
I have moderate acne, and I use Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Oil-Control Foaming Cleanser (it's very drying, so if you use it be sure to use moisturizer) and Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Acne Defense Moisturizer. For foundation, I use Maybelline's Pure Makuep. It's water based, and is just sheer coverage. It doesn't seem to aggravate my acne too much. It works okay. And you can get it at Wal-Mart for like $5 (in the US it's 5, idk how much it would cost in Canada.)
Greetings :) I'm sticking with the natural, half-homemade, half store-bought approach because we are made from nature, so why use chemicals? The store-bought portion of this regime is the Juice Beauty and Burt's Bees, but they are also organic, so that's a plus.
First off: a good exfoliator is sugar and olive oil. Use 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Make sure your face is damp, and you've used warm water to open your pores. For a face wash, try Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream. So you don't block any pores, and make your mild acne worse, use an oil-free moisturizer. Juice Beauty has an oil-free moisturizer.
A good mask, once a week: Mix in bowl 1 egg, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp olive oil and few drops of rose water. Use this as a mask for dry skin. Once applied keep it for sometime, later rinse it off with warm water. Dab it dry.
Please keep in mind that this is what has worked for me. I'm not sure if it will work for you, but I've kept in mind what you've previously stated about your skin's condition. :D
Tell me how it goes? :):) Hope it works for you.
PS: I live in Canada too. Stupid cold weather ruining our skin and hair. Hehe. You can get Burt's Bees and Juice Beauty from any pharmacy. Juice Beauty is also sold in Sephora.

estee lauder.
the moister kind.
and get the lady at the counter to match you up.
but it is like $60.
:O
but its worth it.
like seriously.
and as for moisturizer/face wash, cetaphil is great.
and its at walmart.
its like a wash but a moiserizer also.
ummm..and principles secret exfoliating wash works nicely.
Obviously you'd want to get something for dry skin.
Talk to the lady behind the makeup counter at your local drug store, she can help.
Also, Clean and Clear have a little quiz on their website that you can take to find products to suit your skin type.
You can buy Clean and Clear products at Walmart.
I live in Canada too. :)
Oh my god, me too!
I use face cream, just anything I can find.
Then I put cover-up (lightest I can find, ivory usually)
Then I use physicians formula brand of foundation.
I usually wash with clean%26amp;clear acne control.. its in a purple bottle.
Hope this helps!
exfoliate and use a basic moisturizer. Don't use foundation. Skin looks seriously better when its natural. Just use concealer on blemishes, if you cake to much makeup on it can run and looks like your face is melting...
Bare Minerals.
