Hi! I am so sick of my skin and that my skin ruins my makeup. I have lots of bumps, holes and large pores all over my face and "chicken-like" skin under my eyes. I cleanse my skin every night and morning, and use a peeling once or twice a week. And when I put my makeup on, all of this things shows even more.. I also use a moisturizer and primer under my foundation, but nothing helps. PLEEEASE help me girls :) give me your tips.

Maybe try changing your lifestyle? Go dancing or do yoga... try ear vegan for a month... The body reacts to the inputs. If you have healthy inputs - the outputs will be beautiful too :) Btw I think your skin looks fine and your natural makeup is stunning. xx

I think, the best for your skin is, to let your make up compleately away for a few weeks.

Rip a triangular sponge in half. See how it gets uneven and has bumpy edges? Wet it, and dab on your foundation/bb cream/tinted moisturizer with it. The texture helps fill in and odd surfaces on the skin. Another way to fill in holes is after you're done using the sponge, use your fingers and GENTLY buff the makeup into your skin with circular motions. Hope this helped (:

Don't quote me on this, but I think I just read that an oatmeal mask is good for the face. I also think a honey mask would be good in your case. If you can, see a dermatologist because you might have a skin condition. If not, in the meantime I would google remedies for red/irritated skin. Good luck :)

I love everyone's tips but also give witch hazel a shot for a good month and see what it can do. It helped even out my skin.

It's hard to say one specific remedy or cause for your skin problems because every skin is different, but, I know for myself that I have done more harm than good to mine. I have the same issues of large pores, holes, pit scars etc. I now know that I have always cleansed too much, exfoliated too much, and just have never given my skin a chance to heal properly. And the result is stretched out pores and scarring. When we overwork our skin and don't give it time to heal we do more damage than good. Check yourself on your routine. I have to agree with Mairead S. there is really no need to cleanse soo much, you do actually increase oil production and again stretch the pores. Once the damage is done it is very hard and almost impossible to correct. Our skin is resilient yes but on the same hand delicate and needs time to heal itself. So even if the label says "gentle enough for everyday use" you should ONLY exfoliate 2xs a week and wash your face thoroughly once a day, evening or bedtime being the best. A very light wash in the morning. Keep your pores closed with splashes of cold water then use a toner and moisturizer. I have found that copper peptides will actually regenerate cell production and will help with some existing problems but its very hard to completely undo the damage that WE do.
