Makeup guidance

I have dry and acne prone skin . When i apply makeup on my skin it turns so flaky .suggest me all the products 

Re: Makeup guidance

@kksomal @I would suggest incorporating a gentle exfoliant 1-2x a week to remove the dead flaky skin. I like Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Mini Alpha Beta® Ultra Gentle Daily Peel Pads for Sensitive Skin 5 Treatme... or Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner for Clear Skin 

I used to struggle with this too, and creating a hydrating and moisturizing simple routine has really improved my makeup application. 

A serum such as The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum with Ceramides OR Drunk Elephant B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid 1.69 oz/ 50 mL will help your skin rehydrate over time with continued use; apply when your skin is still a little damp after cleansing so that the serum can hold on to the water molecules and lock them in. 

I follow up with a facial oil as it helps to create a soft surface of the face, my favourite right by now is The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane for Skin and Hair Hydration 1 oz/ 30 mL

 

to finish off you want a moisturizer that will essentially lock these in and help to moisturize the skin. I recommend Drunk Elephant Lala Retro™ Nourishing Whipped Refillable Moisturizer 1.69 oz/ 50 mL or Cerave moisturizing cream. They don’t have irritating ingredients and none of these products bother my acne prone skin. 

I hope this gives you a good starting point, good luck!
