Hi there, I'm 6 weeks into the regimen and am dealing with really bad flaking. I use 2 full pumps of moisturiser. It doesn't bother much until it comes to going out the house. My makeup looks terrible. I can actually see my face cracking and flaking under the makeup, it looks cakey, dry and awful. There's a visible texture. I apply with a sponge to help but it doesn't do much. I'd like to minimise flaking and try and get a decent base for my face so when I apply makeup it goes on like it used to. I understand I can't completely get rid of flaking.
Ive been looking into dans AHA+ and jojoba oil to help with this. I've heard that the AHA+ dries people out further, others say different. I'm wondering what my best bet is. What one of these products will help the most? Or should I even get both? I'm in the UK so dans products are expensive for me to get.
I have a tip that I do with my make up. I tint my moisturizer with mineral powder. I use a mini mixer to mix it real good. It will not give you a lot of coverage, but it evens out my skin tone, and I don't look so flaky.
I like hemp seed oil. You could also dispurse your mineral powder into that. I use a mica from an online store. I don't see why you couldn't use a good prepackaged mineral make up powder. I used the oil at first now use moisturizer.
Jojoba is mildly comedogenic and could clog pores, especially if you're sensitive.
It all depends. If you can tolerate oil cleansing, you might be able to tolerate Jojoba as a moisturizer. Just be careful and patch test it on the side of your face (neck/jawline area, not cheek or forehead).
