Help! My Face Aggravates Me!
Just a little about my face and my routine --> I have very oily acne prone skin. I always have pimples, whether it be blackheads or whiteheads. They never go away. Sometime they're huge cystic ones, sometimes they're not. I also have gigantic pores and those pores of course turn into blackheads. At night, I am religious about getting my makeup off with a makeup wipe first (Neutrogena), then washing my face with Neutrogena's Stubborn Acne face wash. I know this is probably wrong, but to dry my face, I'll take a towel and basically scrub my face because my face is so dry after I wash it. I cannot stand dry patches of skin or any scabs. I have to have smooth as possible skin or else I freak out. I wash my face every morning when I wake up. If I feel as though I need moisturizer, I'll put some.
Now my problem is that when I do my makeup, it comes out so blotchy. There will be spots on my face by the end of the day where it looks like I just wiped some off, especially my chin and below my bottom lip, around my nose and my under eye area. I do have small white bumps around my lips that are either milia or keratin filled follicles from what I researched. Covering these bumps with foundation makes my chin look even worse.
I have been using Benefit's Porefessional Matte Rescue and Maybelline Infallible 24 Hour Pro-Matte Foundation.
I just need advice on products to use or answers as to what I can do differently. It's getting to the point of just not wanting to put on makeup anymore.
