My Skin: Update

Note :Ok, so anyone who reads my blog will know that I have been using the Clinique 3-Step Anti-Blemish Systems for a few weeks now. I mentioned before about how it cleared up my spots pretty well, but left me with awful (painfully) dry skin, so to try and combat this dryness, I switched to using the 3 steps once a day instead of twice.

Ok! So, an update on my skin. For a while it was going well, my skin stayed pretty clear (though badly scarred from previous spots) and still quite dry. Now, in the past couple of days, my skin has changed dramatically, and it is now extremely oily, and I've had a surge of breakouts. Which is disappointing, as I thought I was making good progress. I think it's partly to do with the weather - all the way through winter my skin was quite dry (and then made extremly dry by the Clinique products). And now the weather is warming up my skin has got oilyer.

So, tomorrow I'm heading into town to look for some new products. I'm going to look for some things for the oilyness, maybe a face wash or a toner. I'm also going to look for a new cover-up for my existing blemishes and scarring. I'm going to look for a new foundation, as the one I am using now is more for dry skin. I'm thinking of trying the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation.

Has anybody got any products they would recommend? All suggestions are welcome! Hopefully I'll come back tomorrow with the perfect foundation, and a great oil reducing product!!

Clinique Anti-Blemish Update

Hey! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves over Easter. So, I've been trying to keep up with using the 3 step system twice a day, but I've been very lazy over Easter, and I've only been using it once a day. I've had a few breakouts recently, but I think thats just getting rid of what's already there on my skin - if that make sense. At the moment I don't have any breakouts except for maybe a couple of teeny tiny ones. The only major blemishes on my face at the moment is left over acne scarring which looks like spots! So the 3 Step seems to be working pretty well at keeping me spot free. The next thing for me is either learning how to cover the old scars really effectivley, or finding a product to get rid of the scars. Any suggestions from anyone?

Covering Blemishes

This is the best way I've found to cover blemishes so far.
First, I apply moisturizer, so that the surface of the spot is as smooth as possible, and easier to cover. I then apply Mac Studio Finish Concealor with a Mac 224 brush to all the blemishes/redness on my face. Then I put on my foundation with a normal foundation brush, and then finally blend everything out with a duo fibre stippling brush.
I hope this helps in some way. Has anyone got any tips for the best way to cover blemishes - any advice would be great!!
