Help! Dry Skin and Makeup Problem!?

I live in PA and its incredibly cold right now, making my skin flake...when i put on my usual clarins foundation (or any other) you can see every single flake of skin adn it literally looks like my skin is sandpaper. i've been lotioning and trying to clear up the dryness, but my question is this:





What will show the dryness less: a powder like Bare Minerals or some other form of foundation?

why don't you just drink a lot of water, put on a good moisturizer, and exfoliate once a week? i used to have that problem until i started to exfoliate.


don't use powder because it will make your skin look dryer. i recommend using a tinted moisturizer and massaging it into your skin.

Reply:i have used so many things to get rid of my nasty dry skin. On the other situation and i used my own skin tone face makeup.
Reply:Try Cetaphil cream, not the lotion but the CREAM. It absorbs pretty quickly, it's not greasy and it will keep your skin hydrated for a long while. Oh, and it won't gunk up your pores either. Another plus is that a little goes a long way, a huge jar will cost about $14 bucks but it will last FOREVER!


Good luck!
Reply:Try to drink extra water to help hydrate your skin from the inside. Get a humidifier to put in your bedroom at night so the air you are in is not dry. This will really help your skin!

and what it sounds like is you may just need a moisterizer...


proactiv has 2 different ones...


we have a green tea moisturizer which is a feather light moisturizerthat absorbs instantly, delivering deep hydration to dry, tired skin.


it wont clog your pores or leave you skin feeling greasy....


you can wear alone or under makeup....





than we have an oil free moisterizer with spf 15....


which is designed to keep skin healthy and hydrated...





it kinda has the same benifets as the green tea, but it also protects you skin from the sun aswell...


if you a club member its 19.95 each


but retail price (kiosk in mall) can run you up to 25.00





and with your foundation problem...


alot of foundations have heavy oils that actually clog your pores and my look like its caked on your face...





proactiv has 3 different tipes of foundations that are all oil free....


if your more into the compact foundations


we have a sheer finish compact foundation in 5 different colors....


its a light, oil-free foundation glides on smooth like a liquid.it contains a special formula to absorb extra surface oil, plus salicylic acid to penetrate deep into pores to help stop acene at its source...


than we have a sheer tint moisturizer with spf 15 in 3 different colors.....


it has the same benifets as the sheer finish, but it has a sunscreen that protects you skin from the sun = )





these are more of the foundation types of products we have, plus we have a sheer finish loose powder, a translucent pressed powder, and a spot concealer plus....


if you have any questions just ask


take care alyssa = )
Reply:Whenever I have this problem, it's usually because it's the change of weather. Do your best to clean your face often. Drink plenty of water and exercise! Sometimes that extra blood circulation can help you not only shed pounds but those extra itchy, flaky skin cells that you need to get rid of! Best of Luck!
