You may want to read a bit about it on www.hufa.org, and then maybe do some more reading on your own, to see if it explains why you are having the changes you are noticing.
Reply:Boy, if you find out, let me know. I'm 54 and constantly itching. I have tried vitamins and lotions, nothing works.
Reply:Anyone can become allergic to anything at anytime, something a dermatologist told me many years ago. The issue is that from time to time, companies decide to rehas their product, describing it as new and improved, when they do this, they often alter the formulation so something you used with no problem for may years, will be a problem. I know because I still find I get new allergies and never seem to be free of patches of itchy skin. Try keeping products to a minimum, keeping to pure and ones labelled hypoallergenic, protect your skin where possible, wear gloves when gardening, washing up etc, or even when cleaning,I get a skin reaction if I use polish for example! Cool showers or baths, use a handfull of oatmeal in a stocking tied to the taps to allow the water to run through as the bath fill, moisturise well with low allery product and have antihistamine creams and tablets for when it becomes too bad
Reply:There's not much you can do. It's normal to develop allergies over time, and you can develop them gradually, or suddenly. It is actually more common to develop allergies to something you are constantly in contact with, than to something you've never come across.





I suggest you visit your dermotologist. S/he will be able to help you figure out what ingredient in the makeup that you are allergic to, so that you can steer away from that in other makeups.





If experimenting doesn't worry you, you can try other makeups. Try something lighter, like a powder foundation. There are also natural makeups and creams that nourish your skin, and won't have any preservatives that you may be allergic to.





One last piece of advice; you may not be allergic to the makeup itself at all. When you've been using makeup for awhile, skin cells are transferred from your face to your makeup. It's natural, and you can't stop it. Every time you touch the brush or your finger to your face, and then back in the makeup, you get skin cells in it. In the same way, you also get bits if dirt, anything else on your skin, in the makeup as well. After several months, this buildup in your makeup can ... :shudder:... grow. You can get infections like this, and it's especially a common cause of a sty in or around your eyes. Because of this, dermotologists recommend that you throw out makeup that is older than 6 mos and replace it.
