Achoo! Achoo! Is that all you’ve been doing lately with an itchy, rashy face after using a new product or exposing your skin to something unfamiliar? Well, sweetie, don’t worry. We gotchu covered. In this article, we have compiled some tips that will help ease the pain and give you back the radiance of your skin.

Understanding an Allergic Reaction

First things first – before we start recommending products to slap on our face let’s take a moment to understand what happens during allergic reactions in general.

When you are exposed to something foreign (in this case- skincare ingredients), your immune system goes into overdrive trying to protect you from what it identifies as harmful. The symptoms vary among individuals but range from minor itchiness and redness all the way up-to difficulty breathing (cry for medical help if that’s where you’re at!).

Identify The Culprits

So how do we combat allergies? One crucial step is identifying the cause; I know – Easier said than done- but here are some clues:

1) Note down everything new:

New Product Time introduced
Super hydrating moisturizer January 5th
Lavender oil serum February 3rd

By taking note of product usage introduction timelines (matching with when new swatch/test began), one can quickly tell which caused mayhem.

2) Location Matters

Let’s say only select body parts like the eyes or T-zone broke out implying limited exposure points possibly hinting towards chemicals/incorporated ingredients clogged pores leading up-to red inflamed bumps.

Once identified avoid using these offending products until determining causation dilution/eradication methods (if identifiable) for deleterious elements detectable.

Relieving The Symptoms

So you’ve got the cause pinned down, what’s next- now we tackle the pesky symptoms! Here is a list of go-to remedies:

1) Anti-inflammatory agents:

An article on drgsuggs.com mentioned; apply hydrocortisone (0.25%-1%) cream to affected areas twice daily as needed.

Tip: Apply moisturizer first and then rub a pea-size amount all over your face—no need for that Baby Face smooth texture!

Warning: Please read manufacturer instructions carefully before applying any steroid creams- never use potent steroids with medical supervision.

2) Calming green tea compresses:

Green Tea Compress One option recommended by healthline.com was to apply cooled, dampened teabags onto skin break-out hotspots.

This method can reduce inflammation and improve blood flow in inflamed areas by about 70 percent.

Splash some cool water on your face after applying the tepid bags of wellness.

3) Plain ol’ ice.

Sometimes simple is simply better – when things heat up- run an ice cube wrapped in soft fabric across sore red bumps for speedy relief, soothing crème post-compress icing couldn’t hurt!.

Who knew such simple tricks could provide miraculous relief?!
