Nothing worse than that orange look from the wrong shade make up! So I do have some advice. I have been a make-up artist and skin specialist for a while now and matching skin tone is one of the hardest skills you have to acquire. So when I say I know what I'm talking about I say it confidently. Mineral Secrets carries a Mineral Base line of cosmetics. They have the traditional Loose & Pressed Base Minerals, but they carry a Liquid Based Mineral Foundation as well. And that is what you should be using. Advanced technology delivers all the benefits of mineral makeup powders in an easy-to-use hypoallergenic liquid powder. It has a velvety smooth texture and provides medium coverage. It is a breathable make up and will blend right into the skin without looking like you are trying to cover up your freckles. Mineral Secrets Liquid Mineral Foundation is also a natural sun screen (approximately 15 protection) with its Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide ingredients. As far as your skin tone the Liquid Base come in two colors that I am sure will match...Porcelain & Linen. I would suggest getting both colors to custom blend a color that's perfect for you, but if you have to chose only one Porcelain has a pink undertone and Linen has a yellow undertone and is the lightest shade. I also suggest using Mineral Secrets Loose Porcelain Finishing Powder over the Liquid to provide a matte finish, oil absorption and ability to diminishes pores. If you would like to give your skin that sun-kissed glow without looking orange Mineral Secrets carries a Kenya Safari Bronzer that is perfect for the skin tone you have described. Using the bronzer will also help tone down the look of your freckles if you choose. This combination will be your savior...

I highly recommend trying Skin Rx Clinic’s Jojoba Exfoliating Cleanser. It is specifically formulated with AHA, Salicylic Acid & Grapefruit Oil. AHA/Glycolic Acid helps reduce dead skin buildup, this will allow for the Salicylic Acid to penetrate deeper and kill the active bacteria that’s under the surface instead of just trying to dry out the blemish from the outside. Jojoba Beads are natural scrub agents that are gentle but effective at keeping pores from getting clogged. Grapefruit Oil balances the drying effects of the AHA’s with its anti-irritant properties. If you are serious about clearing up your skin and quality is what you are looking for…this is defiantly the product for you!

Some of the tell tale signs of Rosacea are redness of the face, flushing, the presence of small blood vessels, acne, surface irregularities of the nose, skin sensitivity, and enlarged sweat glands. Rosacea symptoms are diminished by controlling oil production, reducing inflammation, reducing cellular build-up and minimizing bacteria production on the skin. Skin Rx Clinic carries a product called RosaPlex Serum. RosaPlex Serum was awarded Skin Care Innovation of the and its unique marine complex combined with Arnica Montana Flower Extract and Beta-Glucan, provides combined anti-inflammatory and skin-clearing effects aimed at helping resolve and prevent rosacea symptoms while helping lightly and gently to renew skin texture prone to dryness, visibly open pores and/or superficial irregularity. The high percentage of pure beta-glucan an anti-inflammatory that assists healing and de-sensitization helps reduce the appearance of facial redness and calm reactive skin.

Puffiness under the eyes is usually caused from fluid retention but can be caused by many things. Lack of sleep, hereditary, sun damage, stress, allergies and even food can cause puffiness…foods high in salt for example. The best way to address under eye bags is with an eye cream specifically designed for under eye puffiness. Eye creams are a good way to get rid of the dark circles, wrinkles, and under eye bags and generally hydrate and moisturize the skin around your eyes. Skin Rx Clinic Eye Bright Anti-Puffiness Gelee improves skins elasticity, firmness and blood circulation and repairs and restores skin that has already been damage. Eye Bright Anti-Puffiness Gelee is a super-cooling advanced peptide-packed gel that helps decongest and revitalize around the eyes. Cucumber and licorice extract help calm swelling and irritation.

Usually redness is a sign of weakened capillaries. As a result the skin is thin and you can see the blood just under the surface. Strengthening the weakened capillaries will reduce the visibly of the blood and in return reduce the redness. SkinRxClinic carries a product called Vital K. It is design to strengthen capillaries and reduce redness in delicate areas on the face.

This is a tough problem with an easy solution. SkinRxClinic makes a product called 15% Glycolic Smoothing Gel. It is specifically designed to (for lack of a better word) eat away the dead skin cells sitting on the surface of the skin causing the clogged pores. Not only will it help unclog the pore from the surface, Glycolic Acid also has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin and kill any pore causing bacteria that may be under the surface. So you actually kill two birds with one stone and ultimately unclog and clear up your skin.

Having gone through this myself I completely understand your frustrations. This also means I have a solution! SkinRxClinic makes a product called Microdermabrasion Peel. It works in two ways: 1st it is made with Corundum Crystals (which are the same crystals used in a professional microdermabrasion machine. 2nd : the Microdermabrasion Peel contains Glycolic Acid which is proven to refine and resurface the skin and specifically designed to improve and even remove acne scaring. You should start to see results in 2 weeks but won’t see a vast improvement for about a month. Don't get discouraged, at least you know there is a product out there that can...and will help! It is inexpensive and last forever! It has been a miracle product for me and I would highly recommend it to anyone suffering from this product!

There is more to cleaning/clearing up your skin than just fruits, veggies & water...though you are absolutely on the right tract. All of those things also have anti-aging benefits as well so you are actually killing two birds with one stone!
