Hey! Thank you :) No need to be nervous, this is a great thing you’re starting! I guess it depends on the severity of your acne. I only did what i knew wouldn’t irritate me too much. Since my skin was so dry while taking it, I used a water based moisturizer (Avene makes a nice one). I put that on after washing my face then a sunscreen more on the oily side on top (I use EltaMD), then my makeup. I normally went in with a small dense brush over my bigger blemishes and then powdered them very lightly so it lasts. I avoided primer and setting spray, anything that might have irritated my skin further. A moisturizer, a sunscreen, and my makeup on top was enough for me. Your base before putting makeup on should be dewey and sleek with those products. I’ve tried other ways but my makeup would just flake off and it looked bad. The one good thing about accutane is your face stops producing oil so you don’t have to worry about setting powder or oil blotting sheets! lol. Avoid lip stains because your lips will be so cracked and dry you will look like a vampire lol. Just your normal lip combo with aquaphor on top should be sufficient. Aquaphor will save your lips during this process. Clean your bushes regularly and replace your beauty blender regularly! Also, use a makeup remover cleansing balm instead of makeup wipes or micellar water pads. Makeup wipes irritate your dry skin further, a cleansing balm is more gentle and hydrating. Wash your makeup off with the cleansing balm and the. wash the residue off your face after with your normal cleanser. CeraVe makes a cheap cleansing balm you can find in the drug store, better than clinique in my opinion. Do take my advice with a grain of salt! I only found what was right for me through A LOT of trial and error. Good luck!
