[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't care for the look.  The women I know who "contour"/wear a lot of foundation have bad skin.  It is always an obvious look, and I prefer to spend time and care on making sure my skin is in great condition, and then use light makeup to enhance my features (blush, mascara, light powder if I'm very oily).  [/quote]

I'd love to hear your tips on how to prevent hormonal acne with "time and care". TIA.[/quote]

Not PP, but the "care" part of that probably includes going to the dermatologist and/or Gyno and addressing the underlying issues causing the acne. That's what I did and the only thing that worked. Makeup made it look better for a few hours but ultimately exacerbated the acne and made it much worse in the long run.

There's not a "quick fix" for skin care -- skin reflects a lot of health issues and the only panacea is to be really healthy.[/quote]

That's a really uniformed judgement. A "super healthy" person can struggle their entire lives with acne ssues. Even after a ton of money spent on dermatology.   The certain cure is accutane (or its equivalent under different name that isn't banned) but not everyone can go the accutane route. Acne can persist well into the 40s as well. Unless you've actually suffered from this, your cute statement that being "really healthy" is the cure, and therefore I suppose those with acne aren't super healthy is not accurate or appreciated.

Totally agreed. Plus, many "fixes" the dermatologist suggests are far worse than makeup, IMO.  I have a minor case of rosacea and was told that I could go on low-dose antibiotics for the rest of my life to make it go away.  No thanks, I'll stick with some foundation and powder. [/quote]
