Makeup causing rash?
by Kellie1109, Apr 05, 2007 12:00AM
I need help! Until recently I have always used powder makeup, but I decided to give liquid foundation a try. I purchased cover girl smoothers foundation. Applies great and I'm happy with it. The whole time I was wearing it, no problem.
The problem comeswhen I take it off. I scrub my face clean using the same stuff I always use. Clean and clear pads, I use toner sometimes, clean and clear cream, and facial moisturizer. All that stuff has never given me ANY trouble. Once I use the C&C pads though, after about three minutes my cheeks start to feel like they are burning. I look in the mirror and my face looks red. After a few hours the redness goes away.
Does this mean I'm allergic to the foundation? Am I smearing the allergen into my skin deeply when I use the C&C pads, which makes my skin react? Just so confused because while I wear it NO trouble.
I also tried a foundation from studio5ive on someones advice, but that was even worse! It make my eyes swell up, I looked like I had bags under my eyes after just one application. Swelling went down a bit but when I smile it looks like I have bags under my eyes. Any advice?? Any suggestions on what makeup I should buy?
Thanks,
Kellie

I have that problem with any type of cleaning pad. It is really too abrasive for the sensitive skin. Maybe you are scrubbing longer since it isn't a powder and it has irritated the skin. Try something non-abrasive to clean the skin. I use a Johnson & Johnson product called Purpose. It really helped me. Best wishes to you. tmv

I just use make-up remover at night and actually wash my face in the morning. It's much more gentle.
