My skin is very sensitive when it comes to makeup - I usually get rashes when I use it. I would like to use makeup more often. Do you know any products that are good for really sensitive skin?

We turned to Holly Sherrard of the International Dermal Institute to answer this question. Here's what she had to say.

Artificial fragrance is the number one cause of allergic contact dermatitis and artificial colours can contribute to skin sensitization, so be sure to avoid these ingredients when purchasing any product. Look for products designed to heal and sooth your skin before you apply any makeup over top.

Red Raspberry
extract is a soothing ingredient which also acts as a natural antibiotic. Sea Buckthorn can regenerate tissues and treat existing inflammation. Silicones aid in barrier function inhibiting foreign substances from entering the skin. When these ingredients are used in synergistic blends sensitivity can be reduced.
