Make Up & Skin Help!!?

Question

hi. I'm starting at a new school. and i want to change things from my old school. ha ha. one mainly for my make up and that jazz. here's things about my skin.

-it can get dry at times, mostly my nose area. cause it gets dry, when i put make up on, it will look really patchy afterwards

- my cheeks are kinda red at times.

-i dont really get pimples or problems like that anymore. just rare times, certain times of the month,. heh heh mostly my nose, under my nose, chin and around my lips is the main areas pimples will go.

i guess things i need tips about is. good moisturizers, face cleaners or whatever, foundations. and maybe a good routine. hopefully someone has the same problems i do

maybe this will help, i think my skin is normal/combination type.

please someone help :D

Answer 1

same for me with everything you said,

in the morning and at night i use

Clean & Clear

or

Stridex

to clean my face

make-up...

i only wear mascarra so i cant help here.

but dont peel your nose,

you might peel any dry or dead skin raw

that would hurt...

Answer 2

Check out Arbonne facial cleansers.

Completely organic and it is NOT tested on animals.

Try blending moisturizer with foundations about 75/25 and then after you've applied all make up, go over with a concealing mineral powder. Drink LOTS of water, especially when it's that time if the month. Try not to use a lot of chap-stick and lip-gloss, as to avoid the lip area breakouts. (Water will help tremendously.)

Wash your face when you wake up as well as in the shower or right before bed. Do this everyday and whatever you do, DO NOT sleep in your make up. I don't care if you're having the best night of your life in bed with your boyfriend. On your pee break, clean your face!

I hope I helped, and good luck at your new school!

Answer 3

I'm guessing that your skin is normal/dry. You should moisturize, especially around the nose area, and you should avoid touching your face (that means talking on the phone as well). A really good face cleanser would be the ones from Neutrogena, they help revitalize your skin. Good moisturizers - Nivea Face Cream, or even Johnson's Baby Cream would help a lot. I don't think you should use foundation every day, you should buy may be a concealer to cover up dark circles, or any blemishes that you have. Using a foundation every day can damage nice skin.

Hope this helps, and good luck =]

Answer 4

my skin is the same way, so after you wash your face, ALWAYS use a moisturizer. Jergins natural glow spf 20 gives you a great tan just by moisturizing (no sun needed!) covergirl trueblend concealer to cover undereye circles and pimples, followed by covergirl minerals to even out your skin tone and red cheeks

Answer 5

always apply a sunscreen that has added moisturizers... I think that nutrogena has some good products. Try a pressed powder instead of foundation because it has less of a chance of drying you out.

Answer 6

you should exfoliate your face 2 or 3 times a week esp the dry areas to get rid of the dry dead skin, and cleanse at night and in the mornings this should help.

Answer 7

Yes. I am exactly i your position, so I asked my mom for help :)

What I do is use clean and clear for combination skin. If I ever get a breakout, for damage control, I just apply a little bit of astringent/ alcohol.

If your face gets dried out, I use Lubriderm moisturizer with a SPF 15. That should help with red splotches as well.

For make up, I would apply a non oil liquid cover up on any problem areas, and a non oil powder foundation. One thing that can cause zits to reappear is to constantly touch your face which transfers oils, and if u reaaply foundation or cover up with out washing the old make up off.

Alsways remove make up at the end of the day! I hope I helped!!

Answer 8

Cover girl one

Answer 9

yeh

your skin sounds combination

i would use a gentle facial wash like cetaphil

or something so it wont irritate anything

clean and clear has a really good night and day moisturizer

physicans formula has good line of makeup

but clinique is a little more expensive

& i would get that.

plus they have great skin care
