On my face, not the US...
I tried searching for a similar thread, but didn't see one...if I missed it, I apologize for being redundant, but I need some help...desperately!
My skin is out of control ridiculous. I just had a baby three months ago, and the hormone flux has wreaked havoc on my skin...I was oily to begin with (ok...really oily), but had been using the SkinID system (acne prone, too...ugh.), and that seemed to have really cut down on the amount of times I needed to blot during the day. Now, however, my skin is SO gross...I don't know what to do about it. I've tried mattefying gels, creams, goops, etc...primers, face washes, powdering my skin before I put my make up on...and NONE of it seems to work. I was hoping that at least one of you ladies might have an idea or ten to help suck up this oil, and stop my makeup from sliding off.
In case it's pertinent, I'm very fair skinned, and despise the sun...also, I use retin-a at night, and a salicylic acid gel in the morning, so I don't want to dry out my skin TOO much. It takes nothing for my skin to go from super oily, to super oily AND flaky dryness all in the same area. Stupid skin.
