1. Is it an allergy if dandruff appears on the face after washing with facial cleanser?

Allergies may cause dandruff on the face, but the appearance of dandruff on the face after washing with facial cleanser does not necessarily mean that you have an allergy. It may be that you chose an inappropriate facial cleanser or washed your face too frequently, causing the skin on your face to become too dry and causing dandruff.

People with dry skin use strong alkaline facial cleansers with strong cleaning ability to wash their faces. After washing, the skin's oil and moisture will be lost excessively, which may cause a feeling of tightness in mild cases and peeling in severe cases.

People with oily skin produce more oil. If they wash their face too frequently every day, they may develop oily skin on the outside and dry skin on the inside, which means that the skin is dehydrated and has dandruff, but at the same time it is also oily.

2. What to do if you are allergic to facial cleanser

Stop using this facial cleanser

The first thing to do after discovering that you are allergic to facial cleanser is to stop using it and rinse your cheeks with plenty of water to remove the remaining facial cleanser on your face to avoid further aggravation of the allergic symptoms.

3. Stop using makeup

After an allergic reaction to facial cleanser, the face will usually become red, inflamed, or develop a rash. If you use makeup to cover it up at this time, it will affect the skin's self-repair ability and will not be conducive to the disappearance of the allergic symptoms.

4. Apply anti-allergic ointment

If the symptoms are more serious, such as redness, swelling, ulceration, etc., you need to go to the hospital for treatment and take or apply some anti-allergic drugs according to the doctor's instructions.

Some facial masks are designed for sensitive skin and have soothing, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. For example, aloe vera mask can be applied after an allergy. But be sure to choose only aloe vera masks that have soothing and pure hydrating effects.

Note: People who are allergic to aloe vera should avoid using aloe vera masks! You can choose other soothing and anti-allergic masks.
