Treatment and prevention

Steps

Simplify maintenance steps: suspend unnecessary maintenance and stick to the basic three steps. When your skin shows signs of sensitivity, you should immediately reduce the number of maintenance steps. Providing the skin with the most fundamental moisturizing and soothing, and reducing the maintenance steps to a minimum, can promote the development of the skin's own immunity and restore healthy skin.

Avoid irritating skin care products: Avoid using irritating products such as fruit acid, exfoliating, alcohol-based lotions, etc. Exfoliating products like scrubs and deep cleansing masks all work by enhancing the metabolism of the stratum corneum. They are too irritating for sensitive skin. In addition, cleansing actions that require repeated scrubbing should be shortened to 30 seconds.

Replace serum with cream: Use cream texture to buffer the irritation of serum. The maintenance ingredients in the essence are of a relatively pure concentration, and the liquid texture has strong penetrating power, so it is more irritating to the skin. Cream is like the airbag in a car, which can protect the skin from direct impact and reduce irritation. If people with sensitive skin want to try high-concentration whitening essence, it is recommended to mix it with moisturizing cream before applying it, which will be gentler on the challenge of skin tolerance.

If you are allergic, you should choose special skin care products with anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, and use them after washing your face with clean water. If the skin continues to become red, go to the hospital for desensitization treatment or choose this type of cosmeceuticals and skin care products.

For some more serious patients, medical means can be used to change the allergic constitution. In this therapy, the doctor needs to use chemical methods to change the patient's serum, so as to change the allergic constitution. People with red and itchy face allergies must pay attention to facial hygiene in life, try to avoid irritating and spicy foods, and try to avoid seafood.
