After the hives stop I have scaly skin on my eyelids. Also have frequent itching all over my face. I've decided it's probably the Avon products, but it started after a year of using them. Has anyone else had a delayed reaction like this? Are there other cosmetics you would recommend for sensitive skin?
The cosmetics company don't tell you, but some of them are having large quantities of the cosmetics made out of the country. When that happens the quality control might not be as effective as it should be either!
Try to find a line of cosmetics made by a small in-the-USA company. I don't know about the truth in labeling law on cosmetics.
