Can I get allergic reaction from aloe vera mask? What should I do if I get allergic reaction?

One of the most favorite cosmetics among female friends is facial mask, but cosmetics contain many chemical elements, so many people are allergic to cosmetics. So, will aloe vera mask cause allergies? What should I do if I am allergic to aloe vera mask?

Can aloe vera mask cause allergies?

Possibly.

Aloe vera masks usually contain not only aloe vera, but a collection of aloe vera essence and various materials. The aloe vera masks sold in shopping malls have more or less added trace amounts of chemical ingredients, such as lead and mercury, preservatives, alcohol, etc. Some unscrupulous merchants even add fluorescent ingredients to make the mask more effective. Therefore, whether it is an aloe vera mask or other masks, it is possible to cause skin allergies.

Will I be allergic to homemade aloe vera mask?

It is possible.

Homemade aloe vera masks are made from natural fresh aloe vera and do not contain any chemical ingredients. Therefore, the chance of allergies is much lower than that of aloe vera masks purchased from shopping malls. However, because it is fresh aloe vera and has not been purified, it may also cause allergies. People with sensitive skin need to pay special attention.

What to do if your skin is allergic to aloe vera mask

When you find that your skin is allergic after applying an aloe vera mask, the first thing you need to do is to wash off the aloe vera mask on your face with clean water. You can use facial cleanser if necessary. After cleaning your facial skin, do not use any skin care products or cosmetics. Usually skin allergies will last for 30 minutes to 1 hour. If the skin recovers, it means that everything is fine. If the skin is still in an allergic state after a long time, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid worsening of the allergy.

1. First of all, you should stop using all cosmetics, and all skin care products for the first three days to give the skin some buffer time.

2. During this period, you can use a lot of spray products. The spray of pharmaceutical brands has a good soothing and calming effect, and can relieve sensitive phenomena.

3. If you normally use hypoallergenic skin care products, you can continue to use them; however, if your skin still has allergic reactions after use, you should stop using them.

4. You can fully absorb the injectable saline solution on cotton or gauze and apply it to sensitive areas. This injectable saline solution is relatively safe, has good penetration, and has the function of reducing swelling, reducing redness, and stabilizing the skin. The redness and swelling usually go away after a few days.

5. Do not take medication without authorization. Do not go to the pharmacy to buy various anti-inflammatory ointments without a diagnosis from a dermatologist. This is unsafe for the skin. Although it is effective in suppressing inflammation, long-term use will produce side effects and endanger your health.

6. Pay attention to sun protection and avoid exposure to the sun. Sensitive skin has a thinner skin layer and has less defense against ultraviolet rays. Frequent sun exposure can make your skin thinner and more susceptible to irritation.

7. During the period of skin allergy, you must ensure adequate sleep, a balanced diet, a stable mood, and reduce skin irritation. Mild sensitivity will recover quickly if treated properly, but if it is serious, seek medical attention immediately.

8. During this period, you should eat more foods rich in vitamin C and more fresh vegetables and fruits.

9. Do not eat foods that are prone to cause allergies, such as seafood, onions, garlic, onions, lamb, etc.; in addition, leeks, shellfish, spicy foods and alcohol should also be avoided.

10. For people with sensitive skin, do not change the skin care products and cosmetics you are used to at will, and avoid using products with strong therapeutic effects and overly active ingredients. If you change to a new product, you must do a skin test. The method is to apply the product to the delicate skin on the inside of the wrist, leave it on for one night or 2 to 3 days to check the reaction. If any abnormal reaction occurs such as inflammation, redness, or rash, avoid use.
