What to do if the skin on your face peels due to welding

In many jobs, such as machinery manufacturing and automobile repair industries, electric welding is frequently used. Since the temperature during electric welding is very high, it is easy to cause certain harm to the human body. Therefore, before electric welding, you must wear personal protective equipment to avoid burns or scalds. But this still cannot prevent some people from getting burns on their faces from electric welding, causing skin peeling. So, what should we do when this happens?

1. What to do if your face peels due to welding?

Because the temperature of electric welding is relatively high, but if proper protective measures are not taken, it will cause irritation to the skin on the face, causing pain and peeling. When this happens, you can apply a little glycerin or moisturizing skin care products to relieve the symptoms. If the symptoms are severe, you can take antibiotics, use iodine tincture to disinfect the outside, or apply Bactroban. If the skin peeling condition does not improve, be careful not to get it exposed to water, drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid eating irritating foods.

2. What to do if your face peels severely

1. Homemade natural facial mask

Make a homemade natural facial mask twice a week: 2 tablespoons of kiwi juice + 1 tablespoon of honey + half a tablespoon of olive oil, finally add green tea powder to make a paste and apply to the face and neck. Wash it off with clean water after 15 minutes. You will find that your skin is very tender, elastic, transparent and bright.

2. High-performance lotion

It is best to choose an odorless, high-performance lotion (that is, a viscous lotion containing certain nutrients), and use a patting technique to apply a certain amount of pressure to the skin to promote absorption. Since peeling skin is more sensitive, it is best to choose a toner containing calming and soothing ingredients, such as chamomile, aloe vera, and oatmeal.

3. Gentle cleansing and skin care method

Cleanse your face with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. After drying your skin, apply a hydrating mask. Use your hands to gently pat and press the mask to give your face proper stimulation and promote the absorption of the mask. Do not apply it for more than 15 minutes. Clean your face again with warm water. Then apply some moisturizing lotion.

4. Carry a moisturizing spray with you

Get into the habit of carrying a bottle of moisturizing spray with you to hydrate your skin anytime, anywhere. The spring water spray has a very good soothing and calming effect, and it is also hydrating and moisturizing. Relatively speaking, moisturizing sprays with added ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera essence, and rose water will have stronger moisturizing properties.

3. Precautions for facial peeling

1. Do not use facial cleanser to wash your face: Peeling is a sign of skin dehydration, and washing your face with facial cleanser will wash away some of the water in the skin, so you cannot use facial cleanser to wash your face when your face is peeling.

2. Drink more water: During the period of facial peeling, you'd better drink about 10 glasses of water a day. This will quickly replenish the missing water in the body and the facial peeling will get better quickly.

3. Eat more vegetables and fruits: Peeling of the face is caused, to a certain extent, by a lack of vitamins in the body. That is to say, if you eat more vegetables and fruits, your skin will soon become healthy and your face will stop peeling.

4. Don’t go outside in the wind: The wind can easily make your skin become extremely dry and peel. If your face is already peeling, it’s best to stay indoors and don’t go outside in the wind. This way, the peeling on your face will heal quickly.
