After two months of using an Aveda treatment I decided it was not working for my skin so I switched to a less expensive and more convenient approach. I tried Clean&Clear which you can purchase at any grocery store. I used this product for about 5 months. I saw some but very little improvement.
I still wasn't happy and after about 7 months of awful acne I made the decision to go back to Proactive. I saw a definite improvement within the first month but my face was never completely clear. So I decided to change makeups. My best friend Shannon has been using bareMinerals makeup for as long as I can remember and she had only good things to say about the line. I decided to give it a try. A small investment later and I had my starter kit.
With bareMinerals you have three powders. First being your all over coverage, second your warmth and third is your mineral veil. No liquid pore clogging concealers, just mineral powder.
I absolutely love this makeup! It's so natural looking and very light on the skin, yet I still feel like I have all over coverage. It really covers those red splotchy spots on my face and any pimple that I might have.
I've seen vast improvements to my skin tone and clarity.
In the end I'm not saving money like if I were to buy Clean&Clear or a drug store type treatment but I guess you get what you pay for.
For convenience purposes and to save money on both bareMinerals and Proactive I'll be ordering online. Great deals can be found on sights like Amazon and Ebay.
If there are others out there who are battling with acne I strongly recommend bareMinerals makeup as well as Proactive.

Please excuse my bushy eyebrows in the latest one.
