Dan's Regimen and Make-up

I've just started Dan's regimen and I've got a few queries on how to wear make-up
while doing so.

For example - does foundation substitute as a moisturizer?
Is the benzoyl worn over or under make-up?

Reading people's reviews of the regimen I guess people abandon make-up altogether
but there is NO WAY i'm leaving my gaff without a painted face!

Dairy Free Diet working for me! Hormonal 21/f/Ireland

Hi everyone!

I've had acne since I was 8 [that made youth "joyful"] and for years I tried all kinds of diets in order to atleast get a minimum level of self confidence. Just to clarify I have lots and lots of spots, about a billion blackheads but fortunately no cysts or heavy inflamation. For years I avoided sweets and chocolates, anything oily but I ALWAYS lashed down the milk because it's one of my favourite drinks and it's "healthy".
At 15 I went on the pill [Dianette] and that calmed the acne down albeit temporarily. But going dairy free has given me a new lease of life. Since 14 i don't think i'd ever gone outside without wearing make-up but now after really minimising dairy [chocolate often works it's way in] I've gone out without make-up and even looked people in the eye.
My acne is definitely effected by hormones and periods but I think going without dairy has shown animal fats intensify/aggravate acne. Well, mine anyway.

I know minimising dairy is really hard, but if anybody wants to try it i'd love to hear their progress or give any advice.

I still wear a lot of make-up out of habit and my confidence will probably always be low enough, but I never would've believed something so simple would've dramatically altered my appearence.

Good luck everyone, with whatever route you chose.
