Hey guys, so recently I've been getting quite a few spots which is not very normal for me. I'm pretty sure I do everything to avoid this (cleansing, cleaning makeup brushes, etc..) but they just always seem to be there :( I do use a lot of moisturiser though and I've been wondering if this could be the issue? I would really appreciate your help thank youuu :) xx

What do you mean by a lot of moisturizer? Try to use moisturizer twice a day (day and night), and usually a pea-size is enough for your entire face. It also depends on what moisturizer you're using and whether or not it's suitable for your skin type. Clinique makes good ones catered to your skin. :)

It shouldn't do. especially if you're not leaving it on your skin for days. if you're washing your face everyday it certainly shouldn't.

Moisturiser should be fine as long as it doesn't have a lot of oils or chemicals in. But what you need to be careful of is how long after applying moisturiser you apply your makeup. if your skin hasn't fully absorbed the moisturiser it will absorb your makeup base as well which will clog up pores and lead to break outs x

I don't think so.

If you're using one with parabens or mineral oil in the ingredients...anything petroleum based, you increase your risk of clogging pores and bringing on acne. Averno daily radiance is soy based and perhaps you should look into that. Hope that helps.
