makeup
I’m a guy but on occasion wear make up to hide some of the sd
symptoms. While it does a great job hiding some of the redness and
blotchiness it makes me have a flare up the day after I wear it. I
have a feeling I might be the ingredients in the makeup. Does anyone
have any recommendations on what kind of makeup to wear thats sd
friendly. I’ve been using covergirl which I know is really cheap and
probably not good for sd. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

When my skin was oily and red I would occasionally use Clean and Clear
Invisible Shine Control Powder. You could hardly tell it was on, but it
definitely reduced the shine and redness. It only lasted a couple of
hours, but it was easy to reapply. It worked much better than I thought
it would. I bought it at Target.

The Calm Cool and Corrected product by Dermadoctor
lessens the redness for me. My wife uses MAC and if
there is an exceptionally bad flare-up (say 1/month
maybe), I will use it and it works well. I would use
only as necessary and make sure you use the
powder-based - MAC has two kinds - one is like a
foundation - it is almost clay like - that goes on
sticky and really kind of looks that way, the powdery
one (you can tell I have no clue as to the industry
terms used) works much better, and is not that
detectable and the after-flare of using is much, much
less than the sticky foundationy kind which, like you,
makes it worse the next day. I suspsect the covergirl
target variety isn’t good for SD. Pay up for the good
stuff and, if used sparingly, should last a long, long
time (years)
