I haven’t always been acne-prone. In fact, breakouts have only become an issue for me in the past 18 months or so, in my thirties. So knowing what kind of makeup to use when you have spots is a relatively new quandary for me.

I have always known that a piled-on thick, occlusive formula is not the best foundation for healing and overall improvement. But when you experience severe breakouts, it can be emotionally debilitating, and the need to hide your spots outweighs everything else.
