Best Bismuth Free Liquid Mineral Makeup and Powder for Sensitive Skin
by: Anonymous

Bismuth is a horribe ingredient – I don’t know why so many cosmetic companies use it in their products! I’ve tried several mineral makeups and they all make my face itch like crazy because of the bismuth. A few weeks ago I got an email introducing a new product for sensitive skin called Mattify! Powder for Sensitive Skin. This isn’t a colored makeup though, it’s transparent & minimizes pores and soaks up facial oil. Sometimes, on days when I don’t need a lot of coverage, I wear it alone and my skin stays matte and redness-free for hours. Got this at www.mattifycosmetics.com for $12 and it’s one of my favorite products ever! When I do need coverage because of breakouts, I wear the Mattify Powder underneath and over the Illuminare All Day Liquid Mineral foundation – this comes from www.illuminarecosmetics.com for $27. Neither of these products contain Bismuth or Mica, so they work wonderfully for sensitive skin. The Illuminare foundation is the best liquid mineral makeup ever. It’s very high pigment, yet light weight, so you don’t need to use much for a flawless face.

Redness
by: Marcia Szymanel

Be sure you are using a soap free product to wash your face. Also, a green based moisturizer will conteract redness, and help with the irritation. Green counteracts red. La Roche Posay makes several nonsoap products for sensitive, reactive skin that work really well. They may seem a little on the expensive side, but you use less than the size of a dime to wash your face, shoulders and arms, so washing your face uses almost nothing. It foams when water hits it. Wash you face once a day, and just rinse with warm water a second time. I use the cleanser with Toleraine, and also use the moisturizer that goes with it. I also use the moisturizer for red reactive skin on my cheeks, because that is where I have trouble with redness. If you are dealing with atopic dermatitus, or contact dermatitus it is a good idea to keep Aquamil HC on hand to treat it from time to time. These products may seem a little pricey, but a little goes a long way, and end up costing less than a bar of soap in the long run. Bare Essentials powders do not effect my skin that much, but the primers really leave my face red. I use a good amount of moisturizer to act as my primer, and have discontinued use of any primer. I use the hydrating mineral veil, and the brush that comes with it to finish. Rice powder is also an excellent choice, probably better than the hydrating mineral veil. These are all suggestions I have taken from my cosmetic dermatologist, and have put an end to my atopic and contact dermatitus. If your daughter is waxing, or using a dipilatary on her face this may be causing an allergic reaction as well. Using a light stroke with a pencil shaver can help, but I always use the Aquanil HC for several days before, and immediately after, and then for several days to avoid contact dermatitus. Remember, a little bit of make up goes a long ways. Eye make up removers can be harsh, and there is nothing like plain old vaseline in a tube to remove eye make up. Use the tube and not the tub, so you are not putting your fingers into it, and then using again. The tube dispenses just what you need, and nothing in the tube is touched dirty fingers. I hope this helps; I have been dealing with all of these problems, and have found that this plan has worked for me. Good luck to your daughter, this is especially hard for a young person when they just want to fit in with everyone else. Treating your skin well early on will pay off in the long run; I wish I had known some of these things a long time ago.
