Help with makeup/routine!!
Feeling pretty overwhelmed finding suitable makeup for my skin! I have mostly type 2 rosacea with a bit of type one. My skin is acne prone, and I'm also am prone to eczema. My skin is oily and dehydrated. I also have pretty stubborn dark circles under my eyes that I'm looking to cover. I find a lot of makeup stings or just enhances my dryness by settling in all the cracks and just moves around so much. By mid day I'm blotting a lot of oil. I suspect I've developed a sensitivity to something in my routine because I haven't changed anything but my type 2 is flaring up again.
This is my current routine:
AM: wash with lukewarm water - Tower 28 SOS spray - Finacea - Vanicream moisturizing cream or Vanicream daily facial cream with SPF
- Fitglow Concealer
- Alima Pure Loose Powder foundation
- Annabelle Perfect Setting Translucent Powder
PM - grapeseed oil to remove makeup - Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser - Tower 28 SOS spray - Finacea 5-6 x/week, Rosiver 1-2x/week - tretinion 0.025% as spot treatment for acne. - Vanicream Moisturizing Cream
Trying to keep things really simple because my skin reacts to many things but unfortunately no-makeup is not an option for me.
I don't react to the Vanicream facial SPF but I find it quite greasy feeling and it never really absorbs.
I also don't react to Alima pure but I find it feels kind of heavy to get the coverage I need and I look quite greasy by midday. Otherwise I love how simple the ingredients are, and I keep coming back to it for this reason.
Known triggers: - hyaluronic acid - fragrance/essential oils - alcohols - possibly niacinamide - too many "active" ingredients
Other things I've tried: - Hero Rescue Balm - Red Correct (broke out after 4 days) - Elf 16H Camo concealer (colour matched well but within 3 minutes turned orange) - NYX Bare with Me Concealer (stings immediately) - Alima Pure concealer (made me look extra dry, creased, didn't last long)
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
