Silk Naturals mineral makeup and Asian skin






Thanks to genetics, I inherited oily skin. It's not just a little bit, either. The forehead gets so shiny it's like I shellacked it! Talk about EWWWWWWWWW!!!

The one and only time I went to a dermatologist, he put me on Glytone Gel wash and Rejuvenate Facial lotion. The kit they put together also included Afirm 2x Retinol. This combination has cut the shininess down by like 80%. Prior to this, I didn't really have a skincare regimen per se, but I did use DHC's Acerola Kit for awhile. I didn't stick with it because it smelled like soy sauce!

I use mineral makeup when I DO wear makeup, which further helps to eliminate the shine. I don't use BareMinerals or any drugstore brand- I bought some on Ebay from SilkNaturals. It was really inexpensive and allows you to mix a little at a time in case you need to change shades or you just don't want to have a bunch just sitting there. Since the makeup comes in 2 seperate shades that you mix, it helps keeps the price low because you can just buy what you run out of. I think it's worth it, especially if you tan. From what I've heard, the commercial minerals have an ingredient that makes your skin shinier (no thanks!)and can irritate sensitive skin. A kit like the one pictured is $11.95. They have alot more products than they did when they were on Ebay. I haven't tried anything else, but I plan to. In addition to the foundation, I own their 'Date Bait' and of course, the mineral veil. I've been very happy with it all so far. Next time I order foundation, I think I will try the medium coverage next since I don't have the best skin.
