Best Face Makeup for Eczema Prone Skin
Anyone who's ever lived with eczema knows just how annoying it can be—especially when a flair-up effects your face.
While most eczema sufferers attribute the inflammation to genetics or other underlying health conditions, harsh chemicals and irritating products are guaranteed to exacerbate the problem. For those of us who wear makeup, its easy to find ourselves in a vicious cycle of flair ups caused by foundation, which then requires more makeup to cover up, which just makes eczema worse, and so on. Luckily, with these foundations and concealers formulated specifically for sensitive skin, you can break out of the cycle and live a happier, eczema-free life.
