What to do if you are allergic to mask and itchy and red

For many people with allergies, the redness, swelling and itching of the skin caused by allergies are the most unbearable. There are many allergens that can cause allergies. Among them, facial masks, a skin care product that often comes into contact with the facial skin, can cause allergic symptoms. If allergic symptoms occur after applying the facial mask, they can be relieved and treated in certain ways. Here we will introduce to you how to deal with facial mask allergies!

1. What to do if you are allergic to facial mask

First, a simple assessment of the allergy condition should be made. Generally speaking, mild, one-time irritation is normal. However, if peeling or prolonged stinging occurs on the face, it should be taken seriously and the mask must be stopped immediately to prevent more serious skin conditions. If an allergy really occurs and the skin becomes red, swollen and inflamed, you can use a cold towel or ice pack to apply a cool compress, stop using too many skin care products, only use skin care products with moisturizing effects, and pay attention to sun protection, and wait for the skin to slowly recover. If the situation is serious, you should seek medical attention.

2. Can facial masks be used every day?

Facial masks are divided into many types, including hydrating type, whitening type, cleansing type, oil-removing type, moisturizing type, etc. Most facial masks cannot be used every day. Frequent use of facial masks cannot guarantee that the skin can effectively absorb the nutrients therein. Instead, it will cause a burden to the skin. However, there are exceptions. The wash-free ones can be used every day.

3. How long does the mask usually last?

In the hot summer, sheet masks need to be used 2-3 times a week. If your skin is already peeling or seriously "dry", you can use a mild plant-based hydrating mask two or three times a week. General types of masks should not be used too much. Excessive use can easily damage the skin's endocrine system, leading to endocrine disorders, uneven oil secretion, etc. And you need to persist in using facial masks and not stop until you see results. This can easily cause recurrence of skin problems. It is best not to apply the mask for more than half an hour, and you can reduce it by a few minutes depending on the time you put on the mask. If you apply the mask for too long, it will absorb nutrients from the skin, which will not be worth the effort.
