rosacea and makeup

I have moderate rosacea and under the care of a dermatologist. I finally have a great skin care regiment and feel I have the condition under control. My only "issue" is my nose. When I have a "flush" my nose is bright red and it is hard to reapply make up to cover it.

Could you suggest a product that would blend in on my nose and provide coverage through a facial flush? I'm using Jane Iredale loose foundation that is covering the rest of my face and causes no breakouts or sensitivity.

I am trying the greek yogurt for ten minutes once a day.

Thanks!

Hi Dawn,

First, I'm curious to know whether the yogurt is helping? Also, are you moisturizing your face sufficiently? Redness can be exacerbated by surface dehydration. Yonka Creme 11 is formulated for visible redness. Also, try spraying the Yonka Lotionon your face throughout the day. I do this myself and feel that it helps to calm the skin. For makeup, you need something with a green color corrector to hyde redness. T. LeClerc's Corrector Fluid Concealer is great. You need the Tilleul color. Mix a drop with your foundation and apply to the affected area. Hope this helps.

Best

Eva

Rosacea can cause easily irritated skin. All makeup is hypoallergenic so it is trial and error to find what will work for you. Green undercover works well to cover red. Apply sparingly so it doesn't look green. Then apply your usual foundation over top. Mild cleanser and don't scrub.
