I try so many Buff ,everyday minerals ,cory ,so many more.
Do you know any other ingredients that can cause breakout. I know bismuth but maybe is the silica or the serenite ? What you think ?
Hummm, that's could be many things. Like the sun, do you wear sunscreen ? The germs in your brushes, do you clean your brushes ? You dailyroutine, what are your creams, gels ? Etc
For me, I have very bad acnee before, so I clean my brush everyday, and I clean my jars too. I changed my pillow everyday too, I clean my hands before I touch my face. I changed my creams for more natural products (they are better for me skin) I take the sensitive line for AubreyOrganics and I wear the sunscreen SPF25 every day (AubreyOrganics too). I don't eat dark chocolate because I have breakouts with it. I don't touch my spots (hard to resist). If I have a spot, I put a little of organic essential oils of tea tree. Etc etc
When you have a skin problem, you need to see your all routine of the day and nigth. Also your food etc etc
This is frustrating, I know, but after 1-2 years to find my "good" creams, sunscreen, makeup,my friends ask me which are my creams because my skin is gorgeous (for them, not for me^^).
My foundations : the matte from Fyrinnae. The Glow and intensive from EDM, the 0 and 1 from SignatureMinerals.
My primer : the primer for dry from Fyrinnae.
The Finishing powder : the clear or the sunkissed from Fyrinnae, the serecite mica from TKB, the pink one from SignatureMinerals.
The brushes : all the EDM and the 32S from MakeupForEver (it's take off the powder if I put to much).
