For me there is nothing worse than waking up in the morning,
going to the mirror and being greeted with Allergyface! Ugh! If you are not familiar
with the term Allergyface perhaps you are familiar with the symptoms, symptoms
that come on after a sneezing or suffering
with allergies… Puffy eyes, redness and just an overall run down look. I have
been greeted with that run down Allergy Face many times in my life, and there has
to be better way. I would love to wake up with a better happier less icky
Allergy Face.
The makers of ZYRTEC® have partnered with beauty and fashion
expert, Carmen Ordoñez from VivaFashionBlog.com, to help women combat ALLERGY
FACE™ – beauty challenges like a puffy face, watery eyes and a red nose that
are associated with typical allergy symptoms.
According to a recent survey by the makers of ZYRTEC®, nearly half of women suffering from ALLERGY FACE™ missed out on something like a party or a date because of their allergy-related beauty challenges. Have you ever missed an important event in your life due to allergies? Luckily I have never had my allergies that bad that I would stay home from an event. But once my eyes were bugging me so much with burning and itching, while out at a local theater, I had to “watch” the movie with my eyes closed. I just could not keep them open, they were so bad. I guess I should have stayed home instead?
Carmen Ordoñez, has some great beauty tips and tricks, she has a three-part bilingual video series, created in partnership with the makers of ZYRTEC®, Carmen shares her simple do-it-yourself beauty solutions to help women tackle allergy-related beauty challenges during the warm summer months.

In part two, “Embracing Your Natural Belleza Latina,” Carmen
shares simple beauty tips to help women look naturally bella when tackling
ALLERGY FACE™, including:
How to combat a Puffy Face – Drink plenty of water each
day to help your skin feel hydrated.
How
to combat a Puffy Face- Rub and ice cube over your face before applying makeup.
How to reduce
the Appearance of Watery Eyes- Apply
navy blue or cobalt mascara to help the whites of your eyes appear brighter.
Less is more! Don’t overdo it with too much
makeup.
Some other useful tips from Carmen include:
- Eyes: Use an
eyelash curler before applying mascara to help “wake up” Using a curler will
make your eyes look wide open, so you look fresh and awake.
- Nose: If your
nose is irritated and dry, avoid putting on foundation, which can look caked
on. Instead apply a rich moisturizer and let it dry.
- Face: To help
reduce the appearance of ALLERGY FACE™, place a cold, damp cloth on your face
for 10 minutes.
Carmen is full of great beauty information, she is so knowledgeable
about how to look your best and has some great beauty advice. I may not be as beauty savvy as Carmen is, but I wanted to share some of the tips I use
to bring out my natural belleza Latina! I
have to agree with the less is more approach… Years ago I tried to cover my
Allergy Face with loads of makeup, and this never helped I think it even made
my allergies worse! So less is more is my motto as well.
When my eyes are puffy
and I need relief, I just adore cool
compresses and cucumbers for my eyes. You may have seen commercials, or shows
when people go to spas you always see the cucumbers on their eyes. They use cucumber
for a good reason, because it really works. The smell refreshes your senses and
the moisture lessens the puffiness of your eyes and you feel great after you
use them.
Another tip I would have is the BB cream, the newest rage in
face moisturizer/ face foundation. I have found that the BB cream really evens
out my skin tome and makes me look fresh and young. I love the ease of use, and
you can find it in stores for an affordable price.
Lip balm, I never leave the house without it. When my allergies are bad, my lips dry up and
get cracked and they feel and look terrible. A basic thing like a .99 cent tube
of chapstck can really make a difference. Either tinted or glossy both are
great. One quick swipe and I instantly
feel better about the way I look and I am sure my husband appreciates my soft
list as well.

What great tips! I'm an allergy sufferer..from cats, to hay, to dust, to plastic..it's awful dealing with allergies everyday. I'll definitely try out some of these tips if they can help me look less "Allergyface." :)
Thankfully no but I do know a friend who suffers horribly from allergies and is always sniffing and red eye laden.
Thankfully no but my friend has horrid allergies- runny nose, red eyes, the works. :(
My allergies are terrible. I took my son to a water park yesterday and I was miserable from allergies. Next time I will remember Zyrtec!
I'm slow seeming to pick up seasonal allergies as I get older. I never had them growing up. I get REALLY ready puffy eyes when I cry though, so that's an awesome time I can use then too! LOL
My allergies have been so bad, I don't hardly ever wear eye makeup. Thanks for the tips!
My allergies have been terrible this year. My eye makeup washes off from the tears.
Oh how I hate allergies. Mine are absolutely terrible...thank you for your tips!
My allergies are terrible, this is great!
LOVE all of those great tips. I'm glad none of us suffer too much with allergies.
Great tips.. it's almost allergy season for me again, too and these will come in handy; let's hope this year will be an "easy" year and if not maybe Zyrtec will get me through it easier... thanks for sharing
me? no. my son? yes. and he's already got allergy face now. :(
