What to do if sensitive skin is allergic

Nowadays, many people who love beauty have the habit of skin care. For normal people, regular skin care has many benefits to human skin. However, for sensitive skin, you must pay more attention when taking care of the skin, otherwise it is easy to cause allergies. Mild allergies may cause skin itching, burning and other discomfort symptoms, but if it is a more serious allergy, it is likely to cause redness, swelling, and peeling. What should I do if sensitive skin is allergic?

How to deal with allergies:

In daily skin care, the most common allergic symptoms are: pain, a little redness, itching, rashes or acne, and the most serious are swelling and peeling.

【pain】

The pain is most likely caused by dehydration and invisible wounds on the face. Especially when using high-energy mask products, if pain occurs, it is best to stop first and moisturize the skin accordingly.

Slight redness or slight itching

First, stop using all cosmetics at home, cleanse your skin with warm water, use skin care water made from pure Chinese herbal medicine to hydrate your facial skin, then turn on the air humidifier at home to gently hydrate your skin.

【rash】

It often occurs in women who often wear makeup and women who use colored cosmetics. Due to long-term use and not paying attention to cleanliness, they will develop small red rashes or colorless rashes. This is because the pores are clogged. There are a lot of dirt in the pores themselves, which cause them to be blocked. Do not use any external ointments or squeeze hard at this time.

【Acne: There are two situations】

This type of skin is not suitable for using highly nutritious skin care products. You must keep your skin clean and pay attention when cleansing or removing makeup.

Why does skin allergies occur?

1. As we age, the skin's secretory function degenerates. As time goes by, the skin becomes thinner and its protective layer function weakens.

2. Long-term exposure to sunlight or air pollution, smoke, dust, ultraviolet light UVA and UVB, and infrared rays can damage the skin because the free ions they produce can destroy the skin's lipid protective layer.

3. Injury caused by inferior cosmetics or inappropriate drugs.

4. Physiological factors, stress, mental tension and depression will weaken the skin's natural resistance, causing its self-repair function to slow down. Such as endocrine disorders.

5. Weather: In the face of weather changes, the skin also needs extra adaptation. For example, in cold weather, if the skin is not adequately moisturized, it will easily be damaged.

6. Additives: Ingredients in some skin care products, such as preservatives, dyes, emulsifiers and fragrances, may make the skin sensitive.

7. Peculiar constitution.

How to take care of sensitive skin

1. Stay away from allergens. Because allergic symptoms will always exist and cannot be cured, you can only be careful at all times and avoid contact with allergens that may cause allergies.

2. Be clear about the skin care products you use and how to use them. Avoid substances that are highly effective, overly active, and potentially irritating to the skin. Excessive and improper use of strong cleansing products will damage the natural protective tissue on the surface of the skin; overly active cosmetics that accelerate blood circulation can also irritate the skin and cause damage. Do not use medicated soap or other soap-based lotions when washing your face, because surfactants are good at decomposing keratin and should be avoided as much as possible. It is best to use an emulsion or non-soap soap, which can adjust the acidity and alkalinity to suit the skin. Products such as scrubs and exfoliants should be avoided. Follow a simple cleanse, toner and moisturizer routine.

3. Pay attention to the use of sunscreen products. Sensitive skin has a thinner skin layer, has less defense against ultraviolet rays, and is prone to aging. Therefore, it is better to use sunscreen after applying basic skin care products as a barrier. However, the ingredients in sunscreen are also one of the factors that can easily cause irritation, so it is best not to apply it directly on the skin surface. Some manufacturers have launched sunscreens with fewer chemical ingredients and physical ingredients, which are relatively less irritating to the skin. At the same time, avoid excessive exposure to the sun, because ultraviolet rays have extremely strong penetrating power, and frequent exposure to the sun will make the skin thinner and more susceptible to irritation.

4. Use cosmetics with caution. For people with sensitive skin, it is best not to change the cosmetics you are used to. If you want to use new cosmetics, you should do a skin test first. The method is to apply the cosmetics to the delicate skin on the inside of the wrist, leave it on for one night or 2-3 days to observe its reaction. If an abnormal reaction occurs, such as inflammation, redness, rashes, etc., you must avoid using that cosmetic.

5. People with "sensitive" skin should use warm water to wash their skin more often. In areas where pollen is flying in the spring, they should try to reduce going out to avoid pollen dermatitis. They can use moisturizer in the morning and evening to keep the skin moisturized and prevent dryness and flaking.

6. In terms of diet, you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and have a balanced diet. It is best to include a large amount of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, and any food containing vitamin B. Drinking plenty of water, in addition to various benefits, can also moisturize the skin internally. You can make some nourishing facial masks at home, such as cucumber juice mask, loofah juice mask, egg white honey mask, etc., to gradually improve skin condition and achieve healthy skin.

7. Rinse your clothes thoroughly. Detergent residue in clothes and towels may irritate the skin.

8. Sleep has beauty benefits. Eight hours of sleep a day cannot be replaced by any skin care products.

9. Exercise can improve blood circulation, enhance skin resistance, and put the skin into optimal condition.
