flagmags 0 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I have been on DKR for 1 month 1/2. I can't hardly even wear makeup at all b/c (even with jojoba oil and cetaphil) I flake off terribly bad. I have to actually use tweezers to remove the flaky skin (sorry if this is an overshare) just to look like I have a normal face....the skin that flakes is not dry, but moist...any types of make up that you think would work well with this regimen????

brandolynn 287 Share Posted March 15, 2007 you should consider trying NHSFL or LHF, they will exfoliate and get those flakes off. Especially if jojoba and cetaphil isn't helping.As for makeup, some people rave about mineral makeup, but I've not liked any I've tried. Just a simple liquid works for me, or powder only.

cool as kim deal 47 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I think that taking a washcloth to gently rub flakes off your skin after you take a warm shower will help, this is pretty much the gentlest physical method I know of to get rid of flakes. I don't think your issue is finding makeup that will go nicely on your skin, but rather dealing with your flakes. Loose powder might be the way to go as far as not having it clump up more on flakes, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
real maverick 170 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Wash cloth is a good idea as you'll probably have one at hand, it's useful to use it in the shower after about 10 minutes of your face being wet, gives the flakes time to come loose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flagmags 0 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 How many times a week do you suggest using the wash cloth to exfoliate?Thanks:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brandolynn 287 Share Posted March 15, 2007 What is NHSFL and LHF?? Also, I'm going to be trying to get pregnant soon....will this regimen affect the baby's health??? Thanks again:)Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion and Lac-Hydrin Five.Also, you should discuss this with your obgyn, since benzoyl peroxide is a category C drug. He may advise you not use it during pregnancy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Siouxsie 7 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Definitely go with an aha. Also try a buff puff facial sponge. A lot gentler than a washcloth if you must go that route. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
