Dermatologist recommends sticking to one product at a time


RX for Brown Skin for African American skin care product

When you find that perfect African American skin care product, why would you mess things up by mixing it with cosmetics from inferior companies? Recently, dermatologist Jason Rivers issued some warnings against mixing makeup, especially if you have rosacea or other sensitive skin conditions. 


"Mixing a variety of skin care and beauty products is not only expensive, but it can further aggravate skin conditions like rosacea," said Rivers. "People with sensitive skin and rosacea should be particularly careful over the holidays when trigger factors are high."


Rosacea is a skin condition that causes a person's complexion to appear red and make small blood vessels on the nose and cheeks more visible. The "triggers" that Rivers referred to are things such as alcohol, stress and embarrassment, all of which can make these symptoms worse.


This condition can occur in people of complexions, and while it make be tempting to use a variety of skin care products for dark skin to hide the excess redness, women with this condition should stick to one cosmetic at a time to avoid aggravating their sensitive skin.
