Make-up free

Hi Valerie,

I wanted to comment on your question about suitable make-up for sensitive skin based on my own experience.
I have very sensitive skin and find a lot of products on the market today make my skin break out in all kinds of rashes. As far as make-up goes I have tried most brands. Years ago I used to wear a lot of make-up but in recent years I decided to greatly reduce the amount I wear, especially in the form of face powders/foundation creams. Since I have been eating a healthy diet with lots of fresh fruit and veg, drinking plenty of water and getting lots of exercise outdoors and not using face powders or foundation creams I find my skin has been so much better. I have found a brand of eye shadow and mascara that seems to suit me and tend to stick to just wearing eye make-up and lipstick. It felt very strange at first not wearing make-up but you soon get used to it.
I also started to realise that even though many of the so called 'sensitive' products contain reduced chemicals and toxins they still have to contain some in order for the products to have a shelf life and work. I found allowing the skin to breath naturally without being clogged up with face powders, concealers and foundation creams was so much better, the rashes soon disappeared and my skin seemed to find its own natural balance. Now I get comments all the time on how healthy my skin looks. I hope this will help and wish you all the best in achieving your natural beauty goals.
Kind regards
Bronwen
