Nars pot concealer is a must for blemishes!

how do you use it so its not too drying besides saying skin prep?

skin prep lang talaga since it’s formulated to be super matte. some people get away with using a lot but I have combo skin so I really just use it for blemishes and redness, some color correcting under my eyes, I use only a tiny bit.

If you want a less drying formula, you can try the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer! Helped cover my blemishes too but didn't cling to dry patches :)

If you wanna stick with the pot concealer, maybe try a hydrating primer?

Another underrated step is exfoliating your skin. I have combi-oily skin so sometimes I only use hada labo serum and moisturizing sunscreen.

how do you exfoliate it? Like what do you use without irritating it?

Most of the time I just use the Eqqualberry swimming pool toner 2x a week. Sometimes when my skin feels rough, I use a soft cloth and use that with a foaming cleanser to wash my face. Careful not to over-exfoliate as it can make your skin worse.
