To help avoid these reactions, look for makeup products that are fragrance- and oil-free; these ingredients are typically the most irritating to the skin.
Also, look for makeup labeled hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic, and nonacnegenic. Physicians Formula, Clinique and even Neutrogena, which can be purchased at your local drug store, have some great alternatives at a price tag you can live with. These products won’t cause allergic reactions, acne or clog your pores.
