What should I do if I get allergic reactions and redness from using a facial mask?

In real life, facial masks are very familiar skin care products for many people. Facial masks can not only improve some skin problems, but also achieve the effect of moisturizing, which is very good for the skin. However, many people are prone to facial redness, swelling and allergies after applying facial masks. This may be caused by skin allergies to the mask. It can be improved by using cold compresses.

1. Cold compress on face

If you find that your face is red and swollen after applying a facial mask, you should stop applying the mask immediately, then find a clean towel, soak it in water, and put it in the refrigerator for five minutes. At this time, you can take out the towel and apply it to your face. Keep applying it for about fifteen minutes. Three days will relieve the signs of redness and swelling.

2. Eat a balanced diet

After being stimulated by the mask, you should pay special attention to your diet, especially some seafood foods must not be touched. For example, fish, chicken, lamb, etc. are some high-protein foods. You must try to stay away from them. It is best to eat some vitamin-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, which are beneficial to skin recovery.

When washing your face, try to use clean water and never let hot water come into contact with your face, so it is best to avoid taking a hot bath. It is best not to come into contact with irritating cosmetics during the allergy period. You can apply some water and lotion to protect your skin appropriately. It is best to use pure natural and non-irritating skin care products, such as rice water, which is very effective.

4. Notes

Although skin allergy and redness and swelling is a common reaction, if you don’t handle it properly, it may lead to disfigurement, which is very scary. Therefore, you must stop using cosmetics after the allergy, and then make some milk and honey masks yourself. These pure natural foods have no irritation to the skin.

If you have applied it on your face without conducting an experiment, and if you feel a slight tingling sensation on your face after applying it for a while, but no red spots or itching appear, don't worry. It is most likely caused by excessive dehydration of the face. Just pay more attention to hydration in the future.

If you find that the condition is still getting worse after washing your face, or the facial allergy is severe, you should take skin allergy medication immediately to control the progression of the disease. If you do not have skin allergy medication on hand, you need to go to the hospital for routine treatment.
