How to soothe and apply makeup on inflamed skin

Redness, swelling, tenderness, and warmth are hallmark indicators of inflamed skin. The susceptibility to various inflammatory conditions can be influenced by genetic factors and certain chronic conditions. Additionally, diet and hormone levels can play a role in the development of acne, while external factors such as weather conditions and skincare practices can impact conditions like eczema and rosacea. 

As a general rule, inflamed skin should be left makeup-free to allow the skin to breathe and heal from the source of inflammation. Prepping your skin before putting on a full face of makeup is a must even when your skin is in top form, but it’s even more important when you’re dealing with inflammation!
