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 avoid really bad allergic reactions you need to look for any difference in how your skin looks or feels. Pay close attention to these differences. If your skin starts to feel itchy, flaky, or dry stop using the cosmetic.
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.
If you have a severe reaction to your cosmetic you should consult your doctor. They will normally prescribe an ointment to apply to the skin. Depending on how severe the reaction is, they may also have to prescribe shots and skin peels. It is imperative to stop using the cosmetic that caused the reaction immediately.
To avoid allergic reactions from happening in the first place you can take some precautions. First, buy natural wholesale cosmetics that are free from harsh chemicals. Natural wholesale cosmetics are made of all natural ingredients, which is much easier and nicer on the skin.
Natural wholesale cosmetics often times have natural essential oils that can also help sooth the skin. For example, tea tree oil has a natural anti-inflammatory property that can help sooth and treat skin problems. It is also appropriate for skin cosmetics because it helps to firm skin and tighten pores.
Don't immediately put your cosmetic you buy on your face. For the first use, always test out your cosmetics on your arm before you test them out on your face. Testing a small patch of skin for any allergic reactions will help you avoid showing up to work the next day with rashes across your face.
