My makeup looks so bad.
I’ve been using retinoids over 3 years now and I’m still consistently dealing with breakouts. And my makeup looks terrible. It’s like in some places it won’t stick? I’ve tried not using sunscreen before, primer, no primer, fingers, beauty blender, gentle physical exfoliation w cotton pad, salicylic wash the night before. you name it I’ve tried it.
Routines:
AM: rinse w water, purito centella toner, soonjung 2x barrier lotion, missha sunscreen spf 50
PM M-W-F: cleanse w cetaphil hydrating cream to foam cleanser, pat dry, vaseline around mouth, micro tret 0.04%, wait 30 mins, aestura atobarrier cream (I’ve used tret up to 6x a week, going slowly, but it always ruins my barrier. Even 4X a week messes me up.)
PM T-T-S-S: cleanse with cetaphil cleanser, purito toner, atobarrier cream, Vaseline all over
