I always get a huge crater just before a big event. Then I pick it and make it worse. For actual skin care I use Chanel. I use several different foundations. Have you tried YSL Ink Fusion??? I also like TF foundations. Chanel sadly has no match for my skin tone in their foundation range.
Is this for me? I forgot to mention the name... but said YSL in a previous post. It is loaded with perfume and can irritate some skin types, but it's better than its counterparts in terms of weightlessness and performance.
Girl DON'T PICK! The scarring is just not worth it. I'll get the occasional cystic pimple every few months... but I am so diligent about skin care that it'll go away in 24 hours. I don't have any scarring or discoloration and often have to convince people that I even have skin issues. You just have to be really nice to your skin, and use products that perform. Trust me when I tell you that $$$ does not equal effective. I'll even pop half a drop of Tea Tree essential oil ($4.99) and Lavender Essential Oil on my foundation brush before applying it if I think I'm going to have a tough day, and don't want to risk a reaction. I am in my 40's and have been working with my skin since puberty. Trust me, I understand the struggle.
Plus, most commercial skin care is designed to keep you dependent (beauty is my specialty). It works 'just' enough to convince you that you have to spend top dollar on it... and there's always some newfangled discovery (that's been lying dormant in some corner of the world until some scientist happened upon it). Remember that skin is adaptive, so something that works fabulous for a month might quit after that.
I keep a jar of Sisleya Global around for a reset, but it lasts me about a year because I implement the reset about 3-4 times a year... kind of like a juice cleanse.
