What to do if you are allergic to facial mask? Come and check it out!

People always ask, I have an allergy after using a facial mask, is it because I used a fake product? In fact, allergy is a skin problem, and there are people who are allergic to any skin care product. It doesn't mean that genuine products are not allergic. So how do you use a facial mask, and what is the skin rejection reaction?

How to use facial mask

Use the mask continuously for 3-7 days at first to allow the skin to adapt. After the adaptation period, use it 2-4 times a week on average (depending on skin condition and mask type).

【General skin】Apply for 15-20 minutes each time, generally no more than 20 minutes, wash off and then do basic skin care;

[Sensitive skin] Wash it off after 10-20 minutes each time. Skin is easily sensitive in spring and autumn, so you must master the time of applying the mask, otherwise it is easy to get allergies.

Skin rejection reaction

Skin rejection reactions (commonly known as allergies) are very normal phenomena. They usually appear in:

First: People who rarely use cosmetics;

Second: After using the same brand for a long time, there is an adjustment period after changing skin care products;

Third: The skin itself is sensitive;

Fourth: Have used hormone products before;

Fifth: Applying the mask for too long, generally 10-20 minutes is enough, too long will also cause skin hypoxia allergy;

Sixth: After using it for several consecutive days, the skin's nutrition reaches saturation and the skin cannot absorb it, resulting in excess nutrition. If this happens, it is not recommended to use it every day. You should use it according to your skin condition.

Diagnosis and treatment of allergies

1. Treatment of skin tingling

The stinging pain is completely caused by our lack of water and invisible wounds on our faces. When our customers use the first piece and the skin stings for a long time, (if it is mild, you can observe for about 5 minutes, if it does not dissipate, please stop), you must stop first. I know that some sisters may say: It’s okay, it’s normal, you can apply it continuously, which is very unscientific. Observe first, then make a decision. If the whole process is very stinging, stop for a day. If there is no problem, apply it again every other day. It is recommended to apply moisturizing water, lotion, and cream during this period.

2. Treatment for slight redness or itching

First, stop using all the cosmetics in your home, then use the iced water in the refrigerator to apply on your face for ten to fifteen minutes, three to four times a day, and the problem will basically be solved in one day.

If there is slight redness, use a clean towel, soak it in water, put it in a clean plastic bag, put it in the refrigerator for ten minutes, then apply it on your face for fifteen minutes, four times a day.

If it itches slightly, use mashed bananas. Choose ripe mashed bananas instead of banana peels to relieve skin itching.

3. Treatment of rashes and acne

How to distinguish between rashes and acne? Rashes are those protrusions under the skin of the face. What causes this kind of problem?

The first reason: using functional products

For example, the effects of whitening, removing spots, and moisturizing are very powerful for people with skin deposits. When our products enter the skin, it will be irritating and there will be a detoxification process, which is when rashes are likely to appear;

The second reason: frequent makeup application and insufficient makeup removal

Girls who often put on makeup and use cosmetics but don't pay special attention to cleanliness will have small red rashes or colorless rashes on their skin. This is because our pores are clogged. There are a lot of dirt in the pores themselves, and when they are clogged, the essence of our mask enters the skin and will have such a reaction.

Skin Care Tips

There are some important steps in applying a facial mask that cannot be ignored:

(1) Before applying the mask, you can massage your skin slightly to speed up blood circulation and promote the absorption of ingredients. After applying the mask, you can massage your skin again, using your fingertips to soften the skin and "push" nutrients into the skin.

(2) Apply lotion and cream at the end of the session to lock in moisture and prevent moisture loss.

To get the best effect of the mask, pay attention to the following points:

1. You can apply the mask before going to bed, after getting up, and after bathing. The skin's absorption capacity is the strongest during these three time periods.

2. Exfoliate your face before applying the mask to remove dirt and enhance the skin's absorption capacity. After washing your face, apply the mask while your face is slightly hydrated for better absorption.

3. It is best to lie down flat when applying the mask.
