[Guest guest]

I received my samples back in December and used the pressed powder once. My

skin looked fine that day, but not necessarily better than with my regular

foundation. The next day, I awoke to the worst acne bout I had ever had.

(When I have what I call a rosacea breakout, it is red, rashy, itchy bumps.

These were just regular old pimples -- huge and a lot of them.) I feel that

it had to be related to the pressed powder I used, since I rarely have

pimples and never more than one at a time. I haven't had the nerve to try

it again, or the loose powder either.

After initially being quite excited about it, even posting a message

here about it, I ultimately had the same problems with the Iredale

pressed powder that Ruth describes...lots of bad acne-looking stuff.

It seemed so unlikely to be happening from an otherwise highly

recommended product that it took me awhile to accept that it was the

Iredale causing the problem. Yet many people in the group do like it

very much, so don't rule it out.

Recently, I've been going the very minimalist route as to everything

I put on my skin and how often I do it, and my skin is finally

starting to look better: Broken capillaries, of course (I know I'll

need photoderm or laser to address them), but less redness and fewer

papules. This is after months and months of trouble, a series of

trials of different products, etc. I am starting to think that

wearing makeup, while it makes me look better in the short-term

(read: daytime), makes me look worse in the long-term (read: what I

look like in the morning).

As to pizza...I am realizing sadly that tomatoes definitely make me

flare. Dairy products and wheat may in a less immediate and less

severe sense to. But again, it's all a matter of individual trial and

error. Feeling rather dismal about having to give up tomatoes, I hope

you don't!
