There is a stinging sensation after using cosmetics

What women fear most when using cosmetics is skin allergies. About 20% of people have experienced skin allergies to cosmetics.

After skin allergy, not only will it itch, but it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as redness, swelling and blisters on the facial skin, and even scabs and exudate from the lesions. Do not take facial skin allergies lightly. In some cases, facial allergic reactions may be life-threatening, such as anaphylactic shock.

1. Causes of cosmetic allergies

The cause of skin allergies is that certain ingredients in cosmetics stimulate skin cells, causing them to produce antibodies, thus leading to allergies. Many cosmetics currently sold on the market are made from chemical raw materials, and harmful additives such as emulsifiers, fragrances, pigments, bactericides, preservatives, etc. are very harmful to the skin.

2. What to do if you are allergic to cosmetics

Dermatitis caused by cosmetics includes: contact dermatitis, cheilitis, photosensitivity, herpes, acne, etc. If cosmetic contact dermatitis occurs, just stop using all kinds of cosmetics immediately and go to the hospital for diagnosis in time to control the condition. Generally speaking, the symptoms will disappear within 1-2 days, unless the cause cannot be discovered in time, or other kinds of cosmetics are used. In this way, cross-allergy will occur, dermatitis will be prone to recurrence, or it will become chronic and take time to heal. Of course, there is another misunderstanding that everyone easily falls into, which is to use ointment as soon as an allergy occurs. When cosmetic allergies recur for a long time, you can no longer rely on hormone ointments. The best way is to undergo desensitization treatment to fundamentally improve the allergic constitution. If skin allergies are caused by improper use of cosmetics, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time, and do not use ointments for treating general skin diseases at will. Otherwise, it will cause rough skin, spots, and aggravate skin diseases.

3. How to avoid cosmetic allergies

With the extensive use of cosmetics, skin diseases caused by cosmetics have also increased significantly, and skin allergies are one of the most common ones. In order to prevent skin allergies, do not apply cosmetics directly to your face after purchase. You must first do a skin allergy test to prevent large-area use.

To prevent adverse consequences, ensure safe use. Whenever you change cosmetics, as long as it is the first time you use the brand, you should conduct an allergy test. The allergy test method can generally be done by testing a small amount behind the ear, or a simple test on the hand. In short, a small area test on the face is effective in predicting whether the cosmetics are suitable, especially for people with allergic skin, to avoid unnecessary consequences. It is very important to choose products that suit you. Try not to change cosmetics frequently. Use more zero-burden products and plant water products, which will provide the least care and damage to your skin. Always understand the nature of your skin and protect yourself.
