New at makeup, looking for a foundation that won’t make me break out

I’m just starting get into makeup and I have already quite a bit of pimples I’m on birth control right now to help with them. Sadly though I still have quite a bit of them .  I’m looking for a foundation that would not make my face so greasy and won’t make me break out more. I was also wondering if anyone has some advice with how to do my makeup with pimples

Re: New at makeup, looking for a foundation that won’t make me break out

Hi - my skin really responded well to products with salicylic acid in. I use the Cerave SA Cleanser and lotion, using the cleanser with my Clarisonic. I also use the Origins Night a mins skin refining oil, which also contains SA. Using an oil sounds counter intuitive but I was stripping my skin so much that when I started using oil I saw the biggest change and it helped balance my skin. 

 

CLinique do an acne solutions bb creme and foundation.

 

the best advice I had was to treat my skin kindly, no harsh scrubs or treatments. Go makeup free as much as possible, always cleanse thoroughly and to use oils and SA. 

 

Hope whatever you do it works out for you x
