Light Foundation for Acne Free Skin
Fashion & Beauty | November 16, 2014
I’ve been looking for the a new foundation that would be non-acnegenic, light, hydrating and also environmental. I wear make up almost every day and even when I workout, because I want to look good on video and I really don’t like blemishes and uneven skin tone on my face. The problem that I’ve had with my foundations is that they would sometimes clog my pores and cause acne. My skin would also get dry and itchy, so I realized that no matter how good it looks on camera, it’s not really worth it. I needed to move to something more healthy and natural for my skin. I did a little research on companies to see what’s available to me for my budget and my personal needs. I found Aveda. It’s not that Aveda is new to me, because I’ve tried their hair products before which are awesome, but I’ve never tried their make up line before.
Funny story, I went to the Aveda store in Studio City and a really nice blond girl with a thick accent welcomed me to the store and started introducing me to their products. Then she asked me where I’m from. I said Czech republic and she started to speak Czech to me, which made me so happy that I had to give her a hug. Jesse was watching the entire conversation and started laughing , because he thought it was strange that I didn’t notice the similarity, and not just with the accent but also her features and mannerism. Apparently I’m a different person around Czechs – more relaxed. Maybe I have still some insecurities about my english, I don’t know 🙂 but  back to make ups..
I purchased the Inner Light mineral tinted oil free moisturizer. It provides broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays. It’s really that hydrating and moisturizing as they advertise it to be and it really does feel so light that you can’t feel it on your skin. It also looks really natural as if your skin just looked that smooth and even. No make up – cake up anymore. The other thing I like is that this company is constantly striving to make their products as natural as possible from actual plants and other natural sources. They also don’t test their products on animals, like other big companies which makes me feel way better as a customer.
What make up foundation do you use?

Hi again Zuzka! Could you please tell me what is your color on that foundation? I need to order it online, so your color might help me a bit to choose the color for myself. Thank you so much for your help! Satu

The color of my foundation is 03 Sweet Tea. It’s quite light.

Hey Z,
Can you tell me if you don’t mind….what kind of skin do you have….oily, combination, or dry?

I like Arbonne products – really natural, all plant based and no animal testing. It’s really high quality stuff; they have skin care, hair care and cosmetics as well as some really yummy smelling bath and body products.

Hi Zuzka- So we’re girls and we want to look beautiful, but should we be wearing make up while exercising? I’ve read that it can be pretty bad for your skin as your pores open up so much during a workout
Thanks, Happy Friday

I guess that depends on the type of skin and other things. Ideally it would be probably better for us not to wear any make up what so ever, but I’m not a hippie, and I like to look put together, even when I workout, so I had to search for a foundation that would be gentle for my skin. I’m pretty strict about washing the make up off before I go to bed tho.

Hi Zuzka, I have been following you for about 8 months and loving it. I am 45 and a stay at home mom of 4 boys. (ages 12 down to 2) my 2 year old loves you and always says “mommy workout Zuzka” so adorable! I have always worked out and eaten well but your workouts are great since I don’t have a ton of free time. I also am a skincare fanatic for all natural ingredients. I wanted to tell you about a skincare line I found out about a few months ago after reading a book, called The Truth about Beauty (best book) The line is Astara Skincare. My skin has never felt or looked better.

Hi Zuzka, I was wondering what products you use, if any, to wash off the make up before going to bed. 🙂

No WAY!!! All 3 of these products I have been using for years and years and years. I always get complimented on my skin and as NZ doesn’t stock Aveda, I get my mum to send from the UK and stock up whenever I go back!! 🙂 You will love them!!

Zuzka I’m a big fan! I will be checking in to the aveda and other suggestions I’ve seen here today. I wanted to also tell the community about the face wash and moisturizer I use called Primal Life Organics. It is also very natural, no animal testing. It has helped my 50 year old skin immensely. As previously said if it goes on your skin it will end up in your blood and organs so natural is best. Thank you for all your hard work! Karen

I agree that Arbonne Re9 is one of the best but I have recently switched to Eminence. Anyone else out there use it? Thanks for all the names to look up now though! I have never heard of Primal Life Organics.
