[QUOTE="ToffeeMarshmallows, post: 1554332, member: 423418"] I don't have psoriasis but I would have always had very dry skin on my face and makeup would have clung to patches particularly around the top of my nose, inner eye area. If BG control was poor then it was be visible all over my face. About a year and a half ago I changed make-up and the difference is night and day! I use only Estee Lauder products and it's really been worthwhile. Advanced Night Repair Serum has been a lifesaver for dry skin, chronic cold sores (which are no longer chronic I'm glad to say!) , sunburn - any skin affliction I've had since. It is expensive to buy but you can ask for a free sample at the counter to try it first (the samples last forever) I also use their day wear moisturiser every day. If my skin gets particularly dry again I use their nightwear cream for a day or two and it usually clears right up. You can get gift sets with these creams in them which usually works out cheaper.
