Q: Any suggestions for the best organic makeup for persons like me with rosacea? @AGreenerUpstate
Organic makeup and skincare is great for people with rosacea, the products are more gentle and work with the skin, letting it breathe, instead of covering it up with irritating ingredients. Also, keep in mind that the less products (you use) the better, and try to use ones that have less-hard-to-pronounce ingredients and always avoid fragrance. Try to incorporate cleansing milks and face oils into your routine; these products will nourish the skin, instead of stripping it.
Using a BIT of a green- or yellow-tinted base or concealer or can really help counteract some of the redness in the skin, too. Try these:
