The news is out, my secret in
covering my discoloration is (Drumroll……..) Dermablend Smooth IndulgenceFoundation!!
It’s a medium coverage foundation
for minor to moderate facial skin flaws. This product provides a good coverage
for flawed skin. When I was going through my dermatitis flare up, this was my
face saver. This product does a good job of covering up my discoloration that
is caused by my post acne hyperpigmentation without clogging my pores; even
though this product does not cover up the bumpiness texture of my skin
(especially my bumpy dermatitis flare up), but it will camouflage the dark and
red marks that are leftover by acne.
According to cosdna.com (a trusted
reader’s report website that analyzes the ingredients of a cosmetic item), the
only ingredient in the Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Foundation that is
comedogenic is Dimethicone. Dimethicone has a comedogenity of 1, and for some
people Dimethicone breaks them out, but so far I feel like it hasn’t cause me
to have any break outs yet.
However, this foundation makes me
look…. Well there no other ways to say it, oily in the afternoon, I knida like
the glow that it gives me, but at times it makes me look like I have enough oil
on my face to fry an egg with (ok, maybe not that gross). But I can deal with blotting my
face around 3 and pat some mineral powder on while I get my cup of afternoon
coffee than dealing with a full face of zit.
Oh and by the way my shade is Sand Beige.
Overall I think Dermablend Smooth
Indulgence Foundation has kept my acne flare up without any irradiating ingredients
while does a great job of covering up my imperfections.
As you can see, the following pic is what it looks like when its on me. Of course it can not camouflage the bumps but it can cover up the discoloration.
