Beauty Q & A: What Foundation Is Good For Acne?

Lara Logs In With This Question:
Hi there, I love your site!

I am in a panic and I don’t know who to turn to so I thought I’d call in the experts. I have just learned that my tried and true foundation – Cover Girl Aquasmooth has been taken off the market. There was no warning so I didn’t stock up and now I am wondering what am I going to use as a substitute! I have problematic, acne prone skin and this is one of the only products I can use which doesn’t make me break out. Hope you can help!

The Right Brain Says:

Or, you can learn about fighting acne with salicylic acid in foundations, here.

And if you still experience break outs, you can read some tips on how to cover up blemishes, here.

We hope this helps you find a new foundation. Let us know how it turns out for you. Good luck!!
