The application of natural neuropeptide solutions in skin care has advanced radically as our understanding of them has grown. Several peptides have been used for quite a few years for example, copper peptide was first applied inside the early Seventies to assist in the healing of wounds. Just a short while ago have neuropeptide items become understood as skin care treatments. I advise you read a bit more on the subject before diving into expensive skin creams.

You don’t have to see a dermatologist to get some help for your skin – a regular doctor will be able to provide you with at least some basic antibiotics and lotions to clear up your skin (just not the very strong stuff, like Accutane for instance, however your skin doesn’t sound like it would need that anyway). You’ll save yourself a lot of money and worry this way! If you want to verify this information, you can phone your doctors office and ask what medications your doctor is able to prescribe for acne (not for you specifically, but able to prescribe in general). It’ll cost you much less than all the makeup in the long run.

The oils in the makeup are mixing with the oils in your skin and causing alot of backup and caking .

The makeup most likely just settles right into your pores , You need a cleanser that has Salicylic acid in it , or Benzoyl peroxide .
Also exfoliating your skin while you have active pustules can spread the bacteria around your skin creating more problems.

But exfoliating blackheads / white heads is a good idea so but try to avoid the pustules obviously.

I also suggest getting a clay based mask to use on your face twice a week .

As for makeup , mineral based foundation powders is the best bet , it might not stay on all day but it will be gentle on your skin .

Primer, Foundation- What is my skin type and what to use?
I’m 22, pale ivory complexion, really long wavy golden blond hair, I had really bad acne from ages 10-17, and embarrassing adult acne, I have big pours, blackheads occasionally, and a couple of craters on my face, I have oily skin, sometimes dry, acne prone skin, that seemingly can’t wear non-pour clogging make-up because it gets into her premature wrinkles, specially the ones on my forehead.

I have a red spot that I don’t know what it is on my nose, it is VERY RED and I’ve had it since Dec 08. The area is flat and really dark at the center. There’s not bump or recession of the skin, so what on earth could this be and is there anyway I can get rid of it, other then that my complexion is even. I can’t see a dermatologist, don’t have the $. I read spend generously on your foundation, like how much? I spent $12.00 on mine :/ $170.00 make up purchase total for the basics.. that’s generous when you don’t have it.

Primer: Revlon, Beyond Natural SP15/FPs15 – caked my skin worse then not wearing it

Foundation: Tried a liquid to powder oil free compact one from Max Factor and at another time tried Bare Naturale gentle mineral foundation- loose powder, both are cakey….

Concealer: Almay Clear complexion I like, for dotting my red dot, but it’s not very concealing sometimes. Maybelline highlight and concealer is nice but cakey, Maybelline cover stick concealer is really nice, but cakes into my wrinkles under my eye.

Finish: Jane oil-free powder seems to be the only NON caker? Or perhaps it cakes on top of the caking, lol.

Bronzer: Jane summer glow gel bronzer oil free tube makes a bunch of black spots come out of my face, like my eyeshadow just crusted all over me.. not a functional bronzer for me.

Blush: Advice? Haven’t gone this far yet.

Eye makeup: What do you recommend for my light complexion, prominent or normal looking eye shape with more green in it then there is blue and gray.

Exfoliants: Aveeno clear complexion daily cleansing pads-prevents breakouts, exfoliates for clear even-looking skin, one side removes makeup the other exfoliates.( Pre-moistened, self-foaming, dual textured, soap free, oil free, hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic, alcohol-free) Just got it, used once, didn’t break out/burn/dry out = GOOD. Also Biore poor perfect Pore minimizing exfoliator, haven’t had a noticable problem with it. Olay exfoliating whips are PAINFUL for me.

Cleanser: Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser, reduces appearance of poor and refines skin. I don’t know if this leads me to break out sometimes.

Olay complete: All day moisturizer SP15 – half the time causes me to break out after putting it on and burns half the time.

Believe it or not, I’ve come a long way.. with seemingly a long way to go, please help me with your best advice. Thank you for your time.

What is causing all this caking, running, and clogging with my skin?
