Everyone:
Unfortunately, I feel that I have to give up on MMU. Although, MMU is suppose to be better for you than traditional makeup, that isn't the case with me.
I have very oily, EXTREMELY acne-prone skin. So much so that I haven't had a clear face since I was 13 (I'm 26 now). Although I've gone to the dermatologist and done the necessary things to try and clear my skin, right now, it's just a matter of trying to keep new breakouts at bay.
I'm African-American, so my choices for MMU are more limited, and I also want something with really good coverage, due to my acne prone skin.
My first bout was with Milan Minerals. They had a color that matched me EXACTLY, I thought I'd found my HG. Within a week I started breaking out with really small pimples. Nothing had changed with my regimen besides the Milan, so I knew it was the Milan. As disheartened as I was, I stopped using it.
My second bout was with Monave. Although their color didn't match EXACTLY, I was willing to accept it. Within a week, my face broke out in HORRRIBLE, CYSTIC ACNE. Something, I haven't had in years. I had to stop using it, as well.
I never had these type of problems with traditional makeup. I did use Physician's formula MMU, which didn't break me out. I compared ingredient lists and couldn't really figure out what may be the problem, except possibly an allergy to high amounts of titanium dioxide, or just the combination of ingredients in PF worked out better.
I'm now using IMAN, which, I don't believe is breaking me out, but we'll see.
Sorry to be so long.......but I don't think I have any other option but to return back to traditional makeup..........unless ya'll have some suggestions.
Thanks
