So, everyday, I wear makeup. I wear concealer, foundation, BB cream, and blush which is a lot of makeup to put on your skin in one day. But, I have blotchy, acne scars on my skin so- it covers it up. But, recently, I decided I want to stop wearing so much facial makeup.. But, my skin looks awful without something to cover it up. What products can I use to clear up my skin? and Which of those facial makeup products can I continue using? How can I make my skin look nice without clogging my pores with makeup?

I use neutrogena skin clearing mineral powder micro clear tecnology. it covers marks really good and helps treat and prevent breakouts and helps clear dark marks. I love it so much

Use the bb cream on a need to cover basis, like a concealor. And for fading the scars... There are oodles of face mask videos on YouTube using green tea or lemon and honey... You name it.

I recommend using just the bb cream, rather than the combination of bb cream and foundation. But it would probably be a good idea to invest in a bb cream with high spf and skin benefits (vitamin b etc...) in it also. :)

I have had the best luck clearing my skin with the formula 10.0.6 Best Face Forward cleansing face wash. It is lovely.

Bb cream and concealer. Get an acne treatment concealer. And a light powder if you're oily. I would also make sure you exfoliate. I'm not sure how old you are but retinol and alpha hydroxy acids are great for clearing acne but you have to make sure to protect daily with SPF if you use them. It's definitely better to go the clear healthy skin route so you don't have to wear as much makeup.

If you're looking for something with better coverage maybe try a new foundation so you don't have to wear as much extra?

There is an article in the editorial section about going for facials once a month or with every season change. she talks about how it really help scars that she had had forever go away.. not sure if that idea is affordable to you.. something to consider..
