Sternchen I'm super oily so I use apricot scrub a lot! If I don't feel like using that or I feel my face needs a break I use Albolene cleanser which I highly, highly recommend.
Monistat chafing gel as a face primer?

Mel, I use makeup remover wipes, then wash my face with my Phisoderm face wash mixed with about a tablespoon of baking soda. I do that every night, and I use my QHMJM about 3 times a week.
OK so I'm giving this another chance and so far so good. I've been using it for the past 4 days and actually like how it makes my MMU look. No breaks out so far too!
Oh and Mel, I use Purity made simple and it takes everything off! Maybe that's why it broke me out before, my cleanser didn't take it all off.

I pretty much do the same
..except the baking soda..I'll have to try sprinkling some of that into my cetaphil 
I use makeup remover wipes followed by LUSH Green Tea Toner at night, and I use Neutrogena Deep Clean in the shower every morning. I use my QHMJM about 1-2 times/week. I sleep in Merlot Skincare overnight moisturizer, and use the daytime moisturizer in the morning before my Monistat/Foundation/Strobe Liquid combo.
Everytime I've seen a pic of your face Val, I've been like "Wow! Her skin is amazing!" So I'm glad you posted your skincare routine, because I'm totally stealing your baking soda + phisoderm idea
I've been using this chafing gel and I really like it. At first I was disappointed with the size of the tube until I received the Smashbox primer travel size that was twice the price of the Monistat!
You need only a tiny dab. I thought I would go through the Monistat tube really fast, but the more you smooth it over your face, the more it spreads. It's pretty amazing how a tiny bit is enough for your entire face.
I've noticed smoother and more even application of eyeshadows (but I still need some other base like MAC paint tube) and a huge improvement with feathering-in concealer while using less concealer (Bobbi Brown concealer is creamy but thick).

i finally used my monistat after having it for a couple of months now. im so scared to put anything on my face thats why i was holding off. i used it for the first time yesterday and i was amazed to find that it really did smooth out my skin which made the foundation go on much MUCH smoother, which is what i've been aiming for, trying out all those foundations! it really does make A LOT of difference when putting on a primer first! i will continue to use this and i just hope i dont break out or something, but so far, i haven't!!! yipee!
Which exactly do you buy? I was at the store and there were several. Does anyone have a picture? Thanks!

Oh girl, the camera doesnt pick up everything lmao! I've had trouble with acne since I was 12, but I seriously swear by the Baking Soda, it gives you kind of...a glow. I've seen a difference in my face from the time I started using it!
