What are the symptoms of facial mask allergy

There are many reasons for facial mask allergies, such as using inferior facial masks or having allergic skin. This often causes itching, rashes, hard and itchy skin, and small transparent blisters, which are quite harmful to the facial skin. At this time, you should immediately stop this skin care method. If the allergy is serious, you should seek medical attention immediately.

1. The skin is itchy and large red rashes appear, which are hard and itchy.

Never scratch it with your hands. Then apply ice cubes or ice packs, or rinse with cold water continuously to have a calming effect. Generally, allergies caused by temporary contact with something can be suppressed by this method;

2. Transparent small blisters, no pain or itching

However, if there are many small transparent blisters that do not hurt or itch, it is best to wash your face with clean water first to wash away the ingredients on your face that may cause allergies.

If the itching or rash does not subside after applying ice, you should take photos and the ingredient list of the used facial mask (also applies to other cosmetics) to the hospital for treatment.

If the blisters do not get better within 1-2 days or become red and itchy, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

Do not take medicine privately to avoid making the condition worse.

3. Stop using facial masks or other cosmetics that cause allergies.

Find the complete ingredient list of the facial mask or other cosmetics you have used, confirm the name of the first or second ingredient in the ingredient list other than water, and write it down. Because the ingredient list is arranged in order of content, and the ingredients that cause allergies are generally the main ingredients, they are mostly listed after water or at the beginning of the ingredient list.

After confirming the ingredients, you can just avoid ingredients that may cause allergies when purchasing cosmetics in the future. If you have used the first or second ingredient in the past without any reaction, you can check whether the first ingredients in the ingredient list contain any plant ingredients, fermented ingredients, lemon, etc. that are likely to cause allergies. However, it is difficult to determine whether you are allergic to a certain ingredient in this case, so it is better to avoid products you have used before.
