Rosacea Skin Care: Cosmetics

Makeup can be a useful cosmetic tool to conceal or camouflage symptoms of rosacea. It is important to choose oil-free products with non-sensitizing ingredients. In particular, foundations or concealers with a green-tint are helpful in covering up redness, blood vessels and blemishes.

For those with dry, flaky skin, stay away from powder formulations, as these products will collect in the areas of dryness and worsen the appearance of your skin. Make certain that you remove your makeup by the end of each daily with a gentle cleanser.

Non-Comedogenic Cosmetics
Non-comedogenic cosmetics are products which have been tested on the oily skins of human volunteers, or inside rabbit ears.

Skin Foundations
Face foundations are used to cover skin blemishes, and acne, as well as to even out and give colour to your face. There are four basic types of foundations.

Skin Camouflage
Skin Camouflage is useful cosmetic for covering skin defects. A concealing cream may be applied to the skin prior to a foundation. The foundation in this case should either be sheer or opaque.

Perfume Free Cosmetics
Perfumes and scents are used widely in the cosmetic industry to hide odor from the raw materials. They are also used to add appeal to the cosmetic or beauty product.
