Please help

I suffer terribly with excema and dermatitis around my eyes and mouth.

Anyone else had any success with makeup.. everything I try seems to cause a flare up and I can't wear no makeup permanently,

Thanks

I used to have terrible eczema reactions

You likely need to give it a break for 6 months so your skin can calm down - do you have good skin care that will get your skin more moisturised? You probably need to moisturise 3 times a day while you’re sorting it out Are you using a steroid or pro-topic? - because you will probably need to short term to get it under control? (also are you sure it’s eczema and not peri-oral/peri-aural dermatitis - if it is then steroid will make it worse, you need anti-biotics.. I’ve had this too..)

while you are calming it down you will look grand with tinted moisturiser or fake tan, brows shaped and pencil and some blusher

Once it has calmed down make sure you have a skin care routine that keeps everything very moisturised. Dry skin is the worst for eczema. Kiehls avocado cream for eyes is good for eye and around the mouth, O’keefes overnight balm or Clinique super balm

once all that is sorted I find Clinique is good, people also recommend laverna and bare minerals. Start with a little bit twice a week and build up

Body shop really murdered my eyes - you have to be careful with a lot of brands
