ALSO, could anyone recommend me a good spray tan or lotion that wont get blotchy or turn me orange. i have realllyy pale skin=/
hahahha YES.. be very careful where you go. ask the salon what kind of spray tan they use then go on the internet and research it. also, a really good bronzing cream for pale skin would be LoReal Bronzing Lotion.
On my upper arms i get little pimples that itch and my skin is pretty blotchy. However, on the back of my legs and my shins my skin get soooo itchy and dry. I have no rash or bumps but my skin gets really sensitive. Ive tried e45 but that stings and ive tried sudacrem but that also stings. Any idea what this could be, or what i could do. Also it burns when i get in a shower.
Could be small ingrown hairs if it's on the backs of your upper arms and on the tops and backs of the thighs. You could have dry skin too. Get Amlactin lotion from any drug store, it will slowly slough off the dry skin and moisturize it as well. The active ingredient is lactic acid which is very mild. My daughter has this problem. Hope this helps.
Is clinique good for those nasty dry flaky patches? i only have slight acne, but mostly my face is dry. i want a foundation that wont look like a blotchy powdery mess after a couple of hours, ive tried covergirl aquasmooth creme to powder or something like that, i love the way it makes my skin look for about 20 minutes and then it looks more powdery splotchy instead of matte. can anyone help me?
The dry flaky patches aren't going to go away with moisturizer alone. You have to exfoliate. What happens is that the dead, dry skin is sitting on top of your face and your pores. You can put all the moisturizer in the world on your face, but if that dead, dry skin is sitting there, it won't get into your pores, and therefore, will not effectively hydrate. Exfoliation removes the dead, dry skin and opens the pores, so moisturizer can get in there and do its job. I use Clinque 7-Day Scrub after I wash my face. If you haven't exfoliated before, you should use this product for 7 days straight, then the next week for six days, etc.. or as often or as little as you think you need. (Should you decide to try it, the Clinique reps can give you more details about it.) I would also suggest the Clinique Clarifying Lotion, which is an exfoliant as well, to be used on days you do not use the scrub. You will find that your makeup goes on better and stays on longer if you exfoliate.
