If You Get Acne, You Are Not Alone…
I have incredibly sensitive, acne-prone skin. It’s something I’ve suffered from for a majority of my teenage years and although I’ve found that my skin has gotten a lot better with certain changes, It’s still an issue I battle. One of the biggest changes in my skin came when I changed my make up. Not all makeup, or foundations, are good for sensitive, acne-prone skin. In fact, some of them inflame this kind of skin type further! That is why over the years I’ve had the chance to try and test the very best and the very worst foundations for acne prone skin and today I wanted to share my three favourites with you.
In addition to the three that I have highlighted below, I’m going to be trying out the new Giorgio Armani foundation over the next month as I’ve heard wonderful things about it, especially from people who have a similar skin type to mine. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my findings! I do know for sure though that the three foundations I have highlighted below, worked the best for my very sensitive skin and I was able to see a difference in my complexion pretty quickly. Scroll down to find out my favourite foundations!
For special occasions, nights out, or just on a wonderful sunny day, I always prefer a slightly dewy finish. By dewy, I do not mean oily, but rather more of a glow. This Dior foundation does exactly that while being kind to the skin. It’s the best way to achieve that natural glow you’re after. In terms of coverage, I find that this covers most of my pigments and scars and has a strong coverage. It creates a flawless finish that makes me feel so confident without the fear of a break out!

This is my everyday choice. The Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation comes from one of the oldest apothecaries in the world. The original formula comes in only two shades, If that sounds scary to you, it’s actually not! The foundation works with the natural colour of your skin and blends in seamlessly. It’s also a formula that works on your skin while you wear it, improving your complexion and your appearance. This is what I usually have on in my Instagram photos, and has quickly become one of the products I can’t do without. It’s a buildable foundation but if you’re looking for stronger coverage, use it with the No concealer concealer from Perricone!

When I first moved to London, this was the first foundation I discovered that actually worked well with my skin. It worked so well that one of my best friends started to use it as well! To be fair, it’s more of a tinted moisturiser than a foundation but I find that it still does the trick! It provides a dewy finish and although it does not offer full coverage, it is buildable so you can continue to apply it on concern spots until you feel it’s fully covered! I loved that when I did that, it never looked cakey! I wear shade Tan 07
