Allergies caused by applying facial mask can be handled according to the following steps:
1. Immediately stop using the facial mask and clean the face: once allergic symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching and tingling are found after applying the facial mask, immediately remove the facial mask to avoid further aggravation of allergic symptoms. Use flowing clean water or warm water to gently clean the face, to ensure that the residue of the facial mask is thoroughly cleaned, so as to prevent the residue from continuously irritating the skin.
2. Cold compress to calm the skin: After cleansing the face, a clean towel or gauze dipped in cold water or chilled water can be gently applied to the allergic area for cold compress treatment. Cold compress helps to constrict blood vessels, alleviate discomfort such as facial redness, swelling, and itching, and also has a calming effect on the skin.
3. Seek medical attention and follow medical advice for treatment: If the allergy symptoms are mild, the above treatment can be carried out at home, and attention should be paid to observing whether the symptoms have improved. If allergic symptoms are severe, such as blisters, exudation, etc., seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Doctors may prescribe anti allergic drugs, such as antihistamines, for oral treatment, or prescribe topical medications for local application treatment.
During the allergy period, the following points should also be noted:
Avoid using other skincare and cosmetics to avoid exacerbating allergic symptoms.
Maintain a light diet and avoid consuming spicy and stimulating foods as well as allergenic foods such as seafood and mangoes.
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially foods rich in vitamin C, to enhance the skin's immunity and help allergic skin recover to a healthy state faster.
When choosing facial mask for sensitive skin, try to choose mild and non irritating products, and conduct skin test before use to avoid allergic reaction again.
