Help! Dry Skin and Makeup Problem!?

I live in PA and its incredibly cold right now, making my skin flake...when i put on my usual clarins foundation (or any other) you can see every single flake of skin adn it literally looks like my skin is sandpaper. i've been lotioning and trying to clear up the dryness, but my question is this:





What will show the dryness less: a powder like Bare Minerals or some other form of foundation?

I found that the Bare Minerals shows less of the dryness on the skin, however, you must use a lotion first, like Oil of Olay, which tends to be not so greasy and its light. Let the lotion absorb in and then apply the Bare Minerals. I have had no flaky or dryness since using this method.


Good luck.

put on some lotion
Reply:Try putting on nivea face cream on at night- its a little greasy and thick but its really good for chapped skin!
Reply:Try switching from a lotion to a cream when its winter time. Also try a scrub to deflake the skin. I love bare minerals and whenever I have a flaky skin it helps cover my skin more.
