Q Again to put it simply- I have Lots of Acne, lots of scars, and now brown spots under my eyes are forming too: it's so hard to find a full coverage foundation that actually looks good/covers everything, matches my weird skin tone without getting caky, super shiny, or causing more break outs Currently I'm using two foundations and two powders to come close to my skin tone but it still causes those same issues jus mentioned above. I regularly use a sunless Tanner to try to give my fair , brokeout and scarred skin some color and hide my scars a bit but many make me breakout more so I try not to use on my face as much, especially since it almost feels like the brown spots under my eyes happened over nite after applying a session of Tanner. I've tried whitening/lighting creams on my face (where the brown spots are) as well as in my armpits between my thighs/closer to my perlvic area and where my skin pretty much rubs or moves allot. I scrub these areas almost raw at times every time I bathe but still dark.... Please help.....do u have any suggestions for a good reasonibly priced foundation or sunless Tanner, or even what I could possibly do for my dark spots and dark patches of skin.... any guidance would highly be appreciated...as well as for your time and consideration...also please note my funds are very limited, I usually try natural home remedies first cause I can make it myself but I know sometimes you have to pay for quality and skin deserves quality if you want it to look and feel good and healthy....ok thank you!!!!

Thank you for reaching out to us. For your body I would recommend the brand Alpha Skincare theirRenewal Body Lotion 12% Glycolic AHA , this product is designed to help with your concerns. By rubbing your areas raw it only worsens the area and will make your skin darker, just be gentle with this lotion . As far as a foundation for you I would recommend the brand Oxygenetix, their Oxygenating Foundation Acne Control , this foundation is designed for your skin type. To help with your brown spots, I would recommend the brand Farmhouse Fresh their Spotted Leaving Spot Pigment Lightening Serum is designed to help with your skincare concerns.I hhope this helps, have a nice day!
