What to do if your face is allergic and hot

Some friends may have allergies on their facial skin. When allergies occur, the skin will become red and swollen, or small papules may appear. You can wash the skin first with some warm water, and then use a facial cleanser without additives to clean it.

1. Clean your face with cold boiled water or a cleanser without any additives. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline before completely drying your face. Stay in a cool environment to quickly calm your skin.

2. Use an alcohol-free toner. The function of toner is to give the face a refreshing and smooth feeling. Most general toners contain alcohol, which will not only make sensitive skin prone to redness, but will also cause the skin to feel tight after the alcohol evaporates. Therefore, you should choose a mild toner that does not contain alcohol or fragrances. When applying, use the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers to lightly tap the skin. Never pat it hard to avoid irritation.

3. Take more vitamin C. Lack of vitamin C can easily make the skin rough and dry, leading to sensitive symptoms such as dermatitis and peeling. Among fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, pears and kiwi fruit are the first choice. Eating more of them can strengthen skin tissue and help fight against external allergies.

4. Wash your face frequently with cold water to increase skin resistance. If your skin is not adapted to the condition, you can first use warm water (20℃-30℃), then gradually lower the water temperature, and use a facial cleanser made from natural ingredients or a less irritating soap. It is best to use an allergy-free facial cleanser. Take a shower and wash your face separately. Bath water is too hot and is not suitable for washing your face, the same goes for other skin types, let alone sensitive skin. So be sure to wash them separately.

5. Use skin care products made from natural plants, such as skin care products or facial masks made from vegetables and fruits. It is not advisable to use nutritional skin care products and facial masks containing drugs or animal proteins because the skin is prone to allergies.
