Hey ladies!
I'm looking for some suggestions and would appreciate the help. I've posted before about how stupid my skin has been lately and I guess I'm going to have to just suck it up that more than likely it's a "30 and over hormone related" issue as my dermatologist seems to think.
Whatever.
Anyway, she put me on Differin gel, every other night only. It's working really well and within just a few days I noticed a difference in how smooth my skin was becoming and how more even it was also. Of course now the issue I'm having is the dryness/flakiness that comes with using something like Differin. She suggested using Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer which I do like alot but it's not quite working on the dryness that well. For my m/u routine I usually alternate between MAC's Studio Moisture Tint/MSF Natural and just the MSF Natural b/c I don't like anything too heavy on my skin. Well, my derm said she thinks part of my skin issue was the MAC Studio Tint b/c basically it was like using 2 moisturizers and she said MAC cosmetics have caused issues with some of her other patients. I know in the past I've had issues with some of their regular foundations. I'm looking for any suggestions on a foundation I can use while my skin is in this dry/flaky stage that won't look bad. Also, if anyone is using Differin like myself, what products are you using with it??
TIA!!
