Thanks to a couple of friends advice (and a little online research of reviews) I purchased Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream ( in light/medium). I was skeptical at first because a reviewer said she got numerous small white heads after a week of use- and this actually did happen to me. But I exfoliated and washed my face night and day (like a good girl) and after a couple of days they went away completely and haven’t come back at all. After 2 months of use- I know I will never go back to using an SPF moisturizer and foundation.
I apply on bare skin, then set it in with a tiny bit of loose powder (my favorites are Bare Minerals, Makeup Forever or Clinique). My skin feels hydrated all day (which is huge for me because I have very dry skin) and looks smooth, clear, and radiant. I usually break out with a monstrous zit or two around that oh so lovely time of the month- buuuut I haven’t gotten one blemish since 2 weeks into using this stuff (hope I didn’t just jinx it!). It feels like I’m not wearing makeup- but it looks like I’m using the very expensive foundation I purchased for my wedding. Yea.
I was bragging on the BB cream to my best friend, sister, mom and grandmother when I went home for Thanksgiving. The ALL went out and bought it. They are ALL are obsessed. My sister had been fighting a random bout of blemishes for a couple of months. She tried many highly advertised acne systems and nothing worked until this stuff was introduced to her face. Her skin has completely cleared up after 2 weeks. My best friend posted this amazing link on my wall- check it out to find the perfect BB cream for your skin type.
