Hi everyone - Thanks in advance for any advice given. I have always had flawless skin (even through my teen years). I am now 23 and my skin is taking a turn for the worst. I have tried proactiv which lots of people swear by, but it didn't help me personally. I'm sure its a good product but my skin needs something more. I dont have "acne" but I do have what I would call irritation. My skin (especially around the cheeks and chin area) looks red and dry. I have always worn good makeup (estee lauder) and always used estee lauder cleansers and moisturize daily. Can anyone tell me of maybe a better makeup and cleanser that will help my skin? I've been wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear because of the coverage. I feel like I need more coverage because of the redness. Thanks so much!! - Katie

It sounds like you might have Rosacea, which is a common skin diesese. Dermatologists can proscribe you a topical cream for it. As far as makeup goes i would recomend Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup. It's a bit pricey, but it is good for sensitive skin, since it is made with all natural ingredients.

I recommend a mineral makeup as well. That really contributed to getting rid of my skin problems, along with dietary changes.
