I find that foundation breaks me out, I'm quite spot prone. Any alternative to foundation or skin friendly foundation?

Bb cream! I always break out when I wear foundation. I use loreal bb cream and it gives me really good coverage and I don't break out at all! I also put Almay TLC powder on top. It's so light, I can barely tell I'm wearing makeup.

Clinique has a line of foundations with salicylic acid in them that helps treat and prevent spots! Ask them for a tester and see if that works for you! Also an organic foundation may work, it won't have the chemicals that can cause breakouts

I actually had this problem for a VERY long time, I tried everything, Clinique, neutrogena, organic makeup and I found only two that really worked for me and didn't make me break out tarte Amazonian clay foundation and benefit oxygen wow foundation! The benefit one is so light and airy, it really lets your skin breath. :)

I think you should try a bb cream. they ate very light and moisturizing so they do noy break you out

You need a primer, bb cream does the same thing. The reason I say primer is because it creates a barrier from your face and your foundation. You might want to switch to a foundation like naked from revlon or urban decay.

If anything, I would test the waters to see what the real cause of your acne is. Many people assume that it's wearing makeup that makes them have problematic skin.
I would suggest wearing a natural foundation and always washing your face when you're not out. I often times apply my foundation and eye makeup in the morning for work, and when I get home at 5, I just feel like I HAVE to refresh my face! If I have plans that night, I can always reapply a fresh face!
Try Lush's Colour Essentials - mix a bit with some moisturizer and apply liberally all over face. This is very true to color and pigmented, you barely need any of the colour.. the pot could last you forever if you wanted. You could even go back with the pure colour essential and use as a concealer!
