Makeup Allergies
Beauty products have come a long way; they are increasingly used for the purpose of looking good, covering imperfections and rejuvenating skin. They may help you look your best, but they also carry danger of skin irritation and allergies. You need to be careful with makeup because it stays in contact with the skin for a long time.

Go for Simple Formulae
When choosing beauty products, choose ones with simple formulae. The products with more ingredients contain more potential allergens. Moreover, it becomes easy to identify the source when there are fewer ingredients.(Image source:Gettyimages)
Moisturizer
Beauty experts recommend using a tinted moisturizer. It gets the coverage of a lightweight foundation to support the makeup, but also makes skin soft and smooth.(Image source:Gettyimages)
Foundation Selection
It is advised to select a foundation that offers sun protection. A foundation with sun-protection evens out your skin tone, protects you from harmful rays and allergies as well.(Image source:Gettyimages)
Choose Vitamin-enriched Products
When choosing cosmetics, go for formulae enriched with vitamins. For example – a mascara containing vitamin E will plump up lashes. Similarly, other beauty products with vitamins will have restorative action on skin.
Conventional Makeup Vs Mineral Makeup
Conventional makeup is heavier than mineral makeup, so try the latter. With mineral makeup, skin can breathe more freely with lighter texture. When it comes to enhancing beauty, mineral makeup is as good as conventional makeup.
Don't use it if it Leaves you Red and Itchy
Redness and itchiness are the most common signs of skin irritation. Don’t take a chance with something that leaves you red and itchy - whether it’s a product you just tried for the first time or a long-time favourite product. Among other symptoms of skin allergies or irritation are rashes, dry patches, blisters and pain.
Consult a Doctor when having a Skin Condition
If you are pursuing treatment for a skin condition or seeing a dermatologist for any issue, it is advised to consult your doctor prior to using makeup. There can be ingredients in the beauty products that may not be beneficial or can cause harm.
