Eye mask is a skin care product applied to the lower eyelid. It can directly contact the skin and has the functions of hydrating, moisturizing, reducing swelling, and removing dark circles. However, some people experience allergies after applying the eye mask. What is going on? What to do?

How to deal with allergies after applying eye mask

First remove the eye mask and rinse the eye skin with plenty of water, then observe the allergic symptoms. If it is only slight redness and the allergic phenomenon disappears automatically in a short time, don’t worry; if the allergy is more serious, with redness, swelling, and blistering, and lasts for more than half an hour, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.

Causes of allergies after applying eye mask

1. Skin quality

There are many reasons that lead to skin allergies after applying an eye mask. For example, if you have sensitive skin, you are naturally more susceptible to allergies than others. The skin around the eyes is very fragile, so it is expected that the skin will have allergies after using an eye mask.

2. Irritation of eye mask ingredients

Skin allergies after applying the eye mask are more or less related to the eye mask. The ingredients of eye masks from different brands are also different. Some eye masks may add some special ingredients to achieve certain specific effects, and everyone's skin tolerance is different. This does not mean that it is a problem with the quality of the eye mask. It can only mean that this eye mask is not suitable for your skin.

3. Impact of inferior eye masks

Inferior quality eye masks are cheap and have low production costs, and they may contain irritating ingredients. It is normal to have skin allergies after using inferior quality eye masks. Long-term use of inferior quality eye masks will cause greater harm to the skin.

The skin around the eyes is the most fragile part of the facial skin, so the choice of eye mask is crucial. The production cost of cheap eye masks is so high, you can imagine how many nutrients it contains, and there is even the possibility of adding harmful ingredients. Therefore, choosing an eye mask from a big brand is responsible for your own skin. Of course, eye masks from big brands are relatively expensive. If conditions do not permit, you can buy some niche eye masks with a good reputation.

How to prevent skin allergies after applying eye mask

Before using a new eye mask, it is best not to apply it directly to the eyes. Instead, do a skin test on the skin behind the ears first. The skin behind the ears is very close to the skin on the face, and can intuitively detect whether the skin is allergic to the product. Method: Apply the eye mask behind the ear, wait for 15 minutes and then remove it, and observe whether there is any abnormality on the skin. If there is no abnormality, it means that the skin is not allergic to the eye mask and you can apply it on the eyes without worry. On the contrary, if the skin is allergic, you should not continue to use the eye mask.
