If you like wearing makeup the key is to find the right products. Hypoallergenic makeup is a good option. Hypoallergenic makeup is often made by cosmetic companies. It contains less skin irritating preservatives, fragrances, and other chemicals. Even hypoallergenic products can be dangerous. Always go for environmentally friendly makeup, they are less likely to irritate sensitive skin. Below are factors to consider when buying makeup.

Test Your Makeup

Before you apply a new foundation, blusher or concealer, test it. For a week, apply a little product to your inner forearm. This test is not foolproof. You may find some ingredients that irritate your skin, while others only affect the delicate, thin skin around your eyes. Only moisturizers, eye makeup, and other cosmetics should be tested. Avoid using eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, or hair products that can irritate sensitive skin. Stick with products that have been tried and tested. You can stick with the makeup that your skin can tolerate once you have found the right one. If you feel the need to experiment, it is safer to change your hairstyle than to use a different foundation.

Go for Natural Makeup

Oil-based foundations are better. Because they have fewer preservatives, oil-based foundations are less likely than water-based products to cause sensitive skin. Both oily and dry skin can use oil rich foundations. If you are prone to skin breakouts, opt for a water-based foundation over an oil-free one. After a few hours, your skin will begin to darken from oily foundations.

If all of the recommendations you have read fail to calm your skin, or if you suspect that a skin care product or cosmetic is causing your rashes and breakouts, it might be time to see a dermatologist. It is important to stress that sensitive skin should be considered when considering cosmetic procedures. Many cosmetic treatments can be used by people with sensitive skin. A dermatologist may recommend Retin-A in a lower dose. A glycolic acid or trichloroacetic facial peel can be used to remove sun damage and fine lines for sensitive skin.

Consult a Makeup Artist

It is a good idea for teens to visit the makeup counter to meet with a consultant. This will give them the best advice on choosing the right shade for their skin. It will benefit you financially and your skin. Asking for advice from friends or family members who are older might be a bad idea. They may have outdated makeup trends. A makeup consultant offers additional benefits. You can try the product and get tips from someone who has been trained in makeup.
