Other than breakouts, applying makeup over flaky skin pretty much takes first place as Most Annoying Skin Issue. Acne skincare products are designed to make you flake - that's how they work. So, whether you are using acne products, prescription exfoliants, or doing acne treatments, your skin is going to shed. Applying makeup over flaky skin only makes it look worse. Facial brushes and gentle scrubs can help, but only if your acne is non-inflamed. The best method for getting off flaky skin is the "Water Massage."
WATER MASSAGE:
After cleansing your skin and removing all the cleanser, use your fingertips to massage your wet face. If your acne is non-inflamed you can use more pressure. As you massage your skin, the water will begin to evaporate, your fingers will feel tacky against your skin, and the dead skin cells will begin balling up under your fingertips. Don't rinse, just keep massaging. Dampen your fingertips if you need to. The dead skin cells will begin to forms little balls under your fingers that act like a scrub to pull off more dead skin. Sometimes this process takes 30 seconds, other times, it takes 5 minutes. Afterwards, your skin will be looking so fresh and smooth you won't even want to wear makeup!
