Which beauty line has given you makeup optional skin?

Cristyn-Momof2 — Tue, 05 May 2020 23:08:13 GMT

Have you had any luck with skincare that you feel comfortable going without makeup? I am in my mid forties with some uneven skintone, roseacea, and sun spots.

None....topicals cannot produce firming, toning and visibly diminish and remove serious

skin tone issues and wrinkles. I had cosmetic surgery and micro dermabrasion- the real kind - not the silly item they sell on tv. Thrilled with results- very natural.

As for as skin care, I would say I have the best results with Lancer and have used much more expensive and much less expensive. I am a beauty tool junkie as well, and have the tria anti-aging, the trophy microderm, nuface, and beautybio micro needling tool. For me, my beauty regime works and I do not wear foundation. Always mascara and lips though! I am 57.

I am 65 and do have makeup optional skin if I choose. I can not really contribute it to a specific skin care brand..I use many brands and alternate them. I love skincare! I have used sunscreen religiously for the past 30 years...and eaten a healthy diet for longer than that. No sugar, lots of green foods...healthy fats only.

I do enjoy a bit of pink lip stick...and a touch of blush...but I usually forgo any foundation when I go out.

@Cristyn-Momof2 for the 3 skin issues you mentioned

laser treatments or microdermabrasion would be most helpful and your best bet. A bit pricey yes, but it works and is well worth it.

Most dermatologists offer payment plans today so you can pay it in monthly installments.

I'm so over using expensive lotions and potions that do little. When you add up the cost of serums, etc.

it's almost the same over time.

I do use an acid peel once a week but other than that simple and inexpensive drugstore Cerave moisturizer.

I currently use Timeless serums and prescription Differin cream, but a good quality Vitamin C serum, retinoid and sunscreen have been my must haves. I do use concealer for under eye circles but haven’t used foundation since I was young.

La Mer......pricey, but I only use 3 products. It seemed like there was always a dozen things involved when using Isomers or Perricone.

@Cristyn-Momof2 I have had moisturizers that feel really good and make my skin soft but no signnificant changes. Recently, I decided to try Mario Badescu Buttermilk moisturizer. The reason I tried it is because Heidi Klum, the model, said she has been using for years because it is lightweight and does not break her out. So I tried it and it does not give me Milia (rich moisturizers will) and I actually noticed my skin has this slight glow to it (it just looks healthy). It is super lightweight (which I love) and makes my skin soft and the slight glow was a pleasant surprise. I have never had a moisturizer do that. And, I am not just saying this. I don't know what other women will experience but I am very happy with my results. This is my moisturizer for life just sorry it took so long. Plus I received 25% off and free shipping. I think they are offering that because of the crisis. I returned to order another moisturizer at the discounted price.

There is no skincare out of the many many I have tried over the years that can make my skin look and more importantly feel great all day without makeup but Perricone no foundation foundation (which is skin care also) added to the mix makes my skin look and feel fresh all day without a makeup look. I don't want coverage but need my skin to feel great and without it (no matter what skincare I use) my face feels dirty and a magnet for dirt and impurities causing itching and redness. I never have understood why makeup optonal was anyone's preferred look since an even toned polished and better look cannot be achieved without makeup. In the end whatever works for anyone is probably different for just about everyone.

Good morning I am 56 with sensitive combo acne prone skin. More than actual products my skin has improved by what I am not using . Ii found Dr Dray a young dermatologist YouTube channel and it completely changed my skin . Fragrance is one of the biggest offenders in irritation especially for those of us with skin issues. I still have old acne marks and large pores but so improved ! The products I am loving is Procure Rosacare hydrogel moisturizer, colorscience spf for face and eyes .inkey spot oat cleansing balm aand eathsciencc Ceramedx cleanser (it's the cruelty free version of cetaphil). She has great advice and has helped my skin and my wallet 😊

@Cristyn-Momof2 - Not one beauty line, but a few different products from different lines, along with Retin A, have given me the confidence to go without makeup when needed.

These days, while working from home, skin care and sunscreen is all I've been using.

I believe you can achieve makeup optional skin without having to do procedures at a doctor's office. Hope you find what works best for you.

Sad to say but my answer is none! At this stage in my life (age 67) my skin is less than stellar. I do take good care of my skin, use gentle products, moisturize faithfully, watch sun exposure, etc. I have really no wrinkles, only a few lines, but I have rosacea which poses many problems for me (broken caps, at times break-outs). So, truly going without makeup does not make for the best look for me! When I am home --- which is all the time now, of course, I don't wear anything on my face but moisturizer and lip balm. Like most people, I have a number of things I would like to change about my appearance but if I had just one, it would be to have beautiful, healthy skin!

I have good skin at age 70 but I don't want to be makup optional. I like the look of a finished face with color.

Dr. Denese skincare line has worked for me. I wear very little makeup now or none at all. I would not have believed it until I tried it. Hope you get the same results that I do.
