I started using Kosas foundation that has SPF and I’m loving the natural look and it blends well, feels lightweight. I have a few acne scars and blemishes and it does a decent job of evening out my complexion. Do recommend trying it out at the store to see if that works for you.

Thank you sweet @Titian06 !! 😘🤗 I really enjoyed the whole process! 😁

They are all so beautiful @Titian06 ! (well, the black is just plain black, and the topcoats are topcoats, but the rest are gorgeous!) And yes, the orange is amazing! 🧡🧡🧡

Beautiful selection @lmaster ! I bet the Jouer lip cremes are so comfy and I bet you’ll love the Tower 28!

Congratulations, @Kim888 ! Enjoy your goodies! 💖💖💖

Especially for dry skin, I'd suggest starting by adding ceramides to your skin care routine to strengthen your skin barrier. After a week or two I'd add in some Niacinamide as well. It may also help to hold off of any AHAs, BHAs, Vitamin C and Retinol for a couple weeks.

They symptoms you're describing seem to me like they're from a damaged skin barrier. This can be caused by overuse of chemical exfoliants, physical exfoliants, sun exposure, extreme dryness, prolonged use of antibiotics etc. So basically anything under the sun...Once that happens, your skin becomes super sensitive to EVERYTHING, so skin texture gets worse, pigmentation comes about, your skin loses its glow, you get random bumps etc etc.If you're concerned about a damaged skin barrier, I'd try to repair skin slowly while using a mild cleanser:- Step 1: Bring in Ceramides, this should help fill in the cracks so to speak, and give you a complete skin barrier. (Look for products that claim to soothe).- Step 2: If you're skin is feeling thinner (wrinkles, lack of plumpness etc) I'd add in some peptides like The Ordinary Buffet Anti-Aging Serum - Step 3: Add in hydration. I'd definitely use a good moisturizer that matches your skin type, but in addition you can look into single ingredient solutions like Hyaluronic Acid Serums, Niacinamide, Face Oil etc. Try to avoid actives like Vitamin C, Retinol, Retinol Alternatives etc.- Step 4: Once your skin has recovered (at least a couple weeks to a month later) you can start to add your other actives back in small quantities and even begin adding in AHAs and BHAs.

So for glow I've found that niacinamide calms my skin and gets rid of any bumps and pronounced hyperpigmentation (from acne scars, bug bite scars etc), Ceramides for helping skin barrier issues (and getting rid of texture issues), Peptides help with smoothing away wrinkles, and Vitamin C and Turmeric bring the glow.My personal combination:- The Ordinary Buffet Anti-Aging Serum for Peptides- Krave Beauty's Great Barrier Relief for ceramides and niacinamideand then my personal favorite:- Blithe Pressed Apricot Serum - for Vitamin C, Turmeric, Neem and Niacinamide The first two prime my skin, and get rid of the bumps, roughness and spots that could take away from my glow, but the Blithe Serum REALLY delivers the glow. Even one day later, I can see the difference.
