Alex talks about the importance of using sunscreen or moisturizers with built-in sunscreen as some scleroderma medications can increase sun sensitivity.

After applying sunscreen, Alex starts with a primer which helps the foundation last longer. Because she has difficulty manipulating her hands and figures due to scleroderma, Alex finds it easier to apply foundation by pouring some onto a palette and then using a cosmetic brush to apply the foundation to her face. She then uses a damp sponge to help blend in the foundation and finishes off with some concealer to brighten under the eyes.
