Is mineral makeup ok to use on dry skin? I always use my Roc daily moisturizer but it's still not perfect. Will this dry out my skin even more? Thanks

I have a combination of dry/oily skin. This mineral makeup is fine as long as you moisturize before applying it. I haven't had any issues with it yet! :) Hope this helps!

Been using bare minerals for so many years I can't remember. I live in the desert too. No problems.

I have not had any problems with this drying out my skin. It should be perfect for you. Good Luck... Hope you try and like it as much as i do.

I usually don't it works as both. Sometimes if my skin is super dry I wear a light moisturizer under. I now use it as a lotion and bb cream under bare minerals powder.

I do and it hasn't hurt me. I didn't think the RoC was as good at moisturizing so I chose to use it with Garnier Ultra-Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming Night Cream which is very good at moisturizing. It does well with that. Hope this is helpful!

I'm in the same boat. I've been using for 3 weeks now and NOTHING! Even with Roc that I bought from Walmart I started to feel/see changes in my skin by this time. Giving it till the end of the bottle until I post my review. :-/

I don't usually use moisturizer...I find this product to be a light as a feather and gives nice coverage without feeling heavy or "made up". On occasion if I feel dry after being in the elements, I use a tiny bit of moisturizer . Since I've been using this product for over two years now, I've never had so many compliments on my skin.

I have dry skin. This one has vit c +e. It does not dry my skin. A little expensive but I like using it. Cannot rub it in, just smooth over. I do not see big difference, but using as a part of regiment.

Hi Jill I use the PTR Un-Wrinkle moisturizer. I have an oily complexion and was worried this might break me out but I have never had a problem with it. It is a bit heavy which concerned me... but no problems and I have been using PTR Un-Wrinkle for over a year. Hope this helps.

yes. I use my regular every day moisturizer, then this then my foundation. Please keep in mind though, it gives a very dewy look, which at my age is exactly what I want. I love that it does not run. But as with all sunscreen I put on very carefully around eyes. I LOVE this sunscreen for face, neck and shoulders.

I do not use every day. I alternate between the DermaSilk and Roc Retinal. I still have the bottle I purchased in June. It goes on best when your skin is damp so put it on immediately after washing or splashing your face and neck. It truly works!

Hi, I have the product and I think the spf is low. You can buy other minerals to add to it if you want a higher spf. You can match it to any skin color. I do really love this product, and it will last you a year or 2.

No, quite the contrary, Mineral make up has cleared up my adult acne and is the only makeup I have ever worn in my 67 year life that stayed on all day. I am awful about cleaning my face also as I work both day and night and am to tired or just forget by the end of my day/night! The e.l.f. mineral primer is the.o.ly one I have EVER used also that works.The price is amazing too.I love it and I have used the VERY expensive mineral makeups for 20 years...not any more!

I have the same problem! I love this stuff! NO more minor breakouts and not too oily or dry. My skin feels silky! During the day I do balance the slight oily feeling with all day wear makeup which I previously couldn't use cause it would be too dry and flaky looking in the dry spots! My skin is so clear and some of the lines are disappearing! Truth! At night it feels a little greasy, but when I wake up...bam! Baby butt skin! Lol

It's actually one of the best primers I've ever used with mineral makeup and you don't have to use as much makeup as you usually would. I have very deep and enlarged pores and most primers don't quite do it, but I'd give this one a 10. Hope this helps you.

I used it for both day and night because I have super dry skin. I liked it because my face did not feel dried out during the day. I never wear makeup . . .just eye makeup so that may make a difference. I loved it!

About a year ago when I started using mineral makeup, I did not buy Bare Minerals because of the bismuth oxychloride. I had a mild reaction to it, and I did not like the shiny, unnatural glow it gave my face. Now I use Afterglow Cosmetics (www.afterglowcosmetics.com) and silk powder makeup from Aubrey Organics (www.aubrey-organics.com, search: silk powder). They are amazing. Try them for yourself, and I think you'll feel better about what you are putting on your skin.

I have very dry skin and can use this underneath make up, particularly in winter. However when I was younger I could not have done so and instead used Olay Complete All-Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen.

After I am done with my shower I apply Oz serum let it dry completely . Then I apply the "C" and allow to dry. After that I apply my liquid foundation and it stays perfect all day. This morning I was in a rush and forgot both! Not happy because I can tell the difference without it. Trust me!
