I can use one or two BB creams if I mix them with some regular sunscreen, or I can use mineral powder, but only if my skin is not too flaky.  There are non-bismuth foundations out there.  I do not use liquid foundations because they feel gross and will migrate into any lines or flakes or pimples.

 

Wow, what foundations have you been using? only the "bad quality" type of foundations migrate into fine lines and emphasize pimples. You should go to Sephora and browse for an actual decent foundation you can wear on a day to day basis. There is definitely tons of new innovative formulas out there these days; something for everyone.

I am 35.  I have fine lines, mainly nasolabial folds, and oily skin.  There is not a foundation out there that won't migrate, with or without primer, and they all feel gross.  I used to be a makeup artist for Clinique; I'm not a novice, and Sephora has plenty of my money.  I always go back to aforesaid options.  Also, my skin is nice color and texture aside from the occasional breakout, and I feel like using a full-face foundation actually highlights pimples by making the rest of my skin so even that any little pimple stands out.  Now, this is my opinion, and your mileage obviously varies, which is why when someone is sharing their personal preferences, it is often best not to tell them they are doing it wrong.

Biotin gave me big cystic pimples. 

I love liver.  I go to "old folks'" restaurants because it's the only place I can find liver and I hate cooking meat at home because of the smell.  I love all organ meats, actually.  Can't eat them all the time, of course, but delicious and nutritious!  So glad my dad is an old Italian and fed us such "weird" foods.

I have not tried quitting it, but my best friend was plagued by chin cysts until she quit dairy, and they stopped.  She got tested for food allergies and it turned out she is allergic to dairy, gluten and eggs.  Changing her diet was really difficult, esp. as she was vegetarian and had to start eating meat because she can really only eat meat and veggies/fruits now, but her skin is fine now, and she lost 40 lbs!
