My skin has gone mottled and red! what can Iuse to look better ?

[angelcake99]

My skin has gone red and quite mottled with freckles and pigmentation that basically looks like age spot but on my face instead of my hands! I am 32 and usually wear an olay moisturiser with spf15, I am quite fair in complectiob but at this time of year I look like ive had a bottle of sherry or two! What can I use to look better? any good foundations or anti-redness products to recommend? I have a limited budget but would be willing to splash out it I found that one magic product that would make me look better! Help!!

sorry about spelling/ typing errors should have previewed

What cleanser do you use?

I'm not sure what to suggest about the freckles and pigmentation spots but a home-made oat mask would be very soothing for red skin. Mix porridge oats with either water or natural yoghurt and a little honey until gloopy. Massage onto face and leave for 10 mins or so. Remove the bulk of it with your fingers and rinse the rest off with warm water.

Thanks for that Bran will give it a go!

Do you always have this problem in the winter? I tend to go scaly in the cold windy weather and I've found that a gentler cleanser and some Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter at night really helps. I don't generally have pigmentation variations though, I'm fairly freckley all year.
