How to judge aloe vera gel allergy?

I believe that many friends use aloe vera gel to moisturize in daily life, but sometimes the skin will be allergic or have other conditions. Do you know how to judge whether it is an allergy?

How to identify aloe vera gel allergy

Short-term skin sensitivity is not a true allergy, but when the skin shows persistent redness, swelling, stinging, tightness, itching and peeling, it means that you are allergic to aloe vera gel. At this time, you need to stop using skin care products and cosmetics. In severe cases, you need to go to a regular hospital for timely treatment.

Can I be allergic to aloe vera gel?

Aloe vera gel does not cause allergies to most people, but aloe vera gel is a high-grade extract of aloe vera and has a certain degree of allergenicity. Therefore, you need to do an allergy test on the back of your hand or behind the ear before use, and then use it only if there are no adverse reactions.

For people with allergies, many products with natural plant formulas can also cause allergies. Therefore, it is best for people with allergies to go to a regular hospital for allergen testing before using them.

What is not an aloe vera allergy?

1. Skin dehydration causes stinging

Sometimes when applying aloe vera gel, skin with a thin stratum corneum is more sensitive and may experience a brief stinging sensation, but this is not an allergy. It is because the skin is not moisturized enough on a daily basis and is overly dehydrated.

Recommendation: If there is only a brief tingling sensation after applying aloe vera gel, it means that the skin needs to be urgently hydrated. You can apply a hydrating mask to your face after cleansing and toning. If the skin discomfort lasts for a long time, wash off the aloe vera gel immediately.

2. Excessive dosage may cause adverse reactions

No matter how good the skin care products are, you must pay attention to the dosage and don't be in a hurry. Using too much can easily lead to clogged pores, causing a series of skin problems, the most prominent of which is closed comedones.

Recommendation: Be careful to apply aloe vera gel in appropriate amounts. When applying as a facial cream, just apply a thin layer. When using as a facial mask, apply an amount the thickness of a coin. When using aloe vera gel to remove acne, use it up to three times a day. Use aloe vera gel masks 2-3 times a week.
