subject: Allergies And Cosmetics [print this page] Allergic reactions happen with cosmeticsAllergic reactions happen with cosmetics. Due to an ingredient in the cosmetics, you can have a variety of different allergic reactions. Even with the many different tests the cosmetics had to go through to be ready for the public to use, there will still be a lot of women who will still suffer from allergic reactions to the cosmetics.
An allergic reaction may take you off guard. This is especially true for women who have worn makeup for many years and out of the blue have a bad reaction to one. It only takes one ingredient to cause an allergic reaction.
To prevent serious reactions it is a good idea to watch out for any differences in how your skin looks or feels. Pay attention to any of these differences. These can include a lot of different reactions, usually starting with itchy, flaky, dry skin.
Some allergic reactions start off innocently as dry skin. However, if you continue to use the cosmetic the dry patch of skin will cause more severe allergic reactions. This can be anything from hives, to peeling skin, or even rashes.
Consult your doctor if your reaction is bad. Normally they will prescribe an ointment that you can apply to heal the skin. They might also give you an allergy shot or a skin peel, depending on the severity of the allergic reaction.
Another way to protect your skin is to use natural wholesale cosmetics. Natural wholesale cosmetics are free from harsh chemicals. Because natural wholesale cosmetics are made with only organic, natural ingredients, they are much nicer for your skin.
Essential oils are also good for helping to sooth skin. Tea tree oil in particular has great anti-inflammatory properties to help sooth and treat skin issues. They are also used a lot in skin cosmetics to firm skin and tighten pores.
You should also be wary of ever applying cosmetics to your face before you use them. Always test the cosmetics out on your arm beforehand. Test a small patch the day before you want to use the cosmetic to make sure there is no allergic reaction.
