5 Signs of allergy to cosmetics you need to know

Women we love to try new cosmetics. It is common, for example, we buy different brands of makeup, which for a time we use a certain type of creams, or later due to changes in our skin, we need new treatments.

All this means that at some time or another, end up suffering an unexpected allergic reaction. In fact, according to several studies almost 20% of the population is allergic to any component of these cosmetics, why it is so important to know what element we reacted to avoid it in the future.

Keep in mind also that our skin is unique and it did not go well all the same treatments. If we add to the beauty companies innovate, every day, introducing new elements in these creams and makeup, it is normal that, at some point, suffer allergies.

Let us now see what those reactions that can not be overlooked.

1. Acne breakouts

It is very common. Just try a new foundation, or a compact powder. Maybe you've bought a new wrinkle cream, you take a couple of days with these cosmetics and, little by little, we are noticing how we see a thin layer of granite.

There are normal bumps, but as a fine accumulation stings you in contact with the hand. The first thing we do here is to wash your face with fresh water well and let rest skin five days in a row. If we see that these breakouts disappear, then you know that is no doubt that new cosmetic that you've tried.

 2. watery eyes and swollen

This symptom is one of the most classic when using certain types of mascara or eye pencil. It usually happens very often with "waterproof", ie long-lasting mascara that does not go away with water. Often we not withdraw properly and that, every day, to build up to cause an allergic reaction.

Another thing to keep in mind is the quality of the products. Sometimes the composition of these eyeliners is not adequate and often cause us very fast reactions, as a very strong itching, redness and tearing. If this happens you quickly retire cosmetic eye and do not ever use it; Best choose hypoallergenic cosmetics.

You know that related allergies eyeliners and mascara are often the most dangerous.

3. Inflammation of the skin

There have to be very careful with skin creams. One recommendation that dermatologists give us is to try first on a small piece of our skin, in hand, for example. They also explain the elements that usually react more are fragrances and preservatives that are usually included in most cosmetics.

It may be that one day we choose a particular type of cream that smells good and when applied on the face, immediately suffered a striking inflammation. Always remember that perfumes included in the creams have alcohol, and it is common for people with sensitive skin do not receive either this element. Choose softer creams without much odor and, if possible, hypoallergenic.

4. dry spots, scabs or flakes

These white spots where they appear sometimes as a kind of scales are often, as you know, eczema or atopic dermatitis, where these so striking skin lesions that are always accompanied by an annoying itching are.

They usually appear on the face, but can also be seen even in the limbs or any part of the body which have not implemented this or that cosmetic cream. It would therefore be a general reaction to an element that hurts us, so do not hesitate to go to the doctor and your dermatologist to find out what caused it and how you treat dermatitis to dispel that.

5. Simple burning, discomfort, discomfort

The body is wise and always gives us clues. There are times when something appears not as flashy as eczema, or as few grains. Sometimes we feel little annoyances that give us clear clues that something happens, that our skin and body are not comfortable with this strange element that you are applying.

Take note of these more unusual and not so obvious symptoms:

• Note dry eyes, as if we had sand. Something subtle, that comes and goes, but it bothers us every time we wear mascara.
• Feel as swollen lips and a slight itching. Sign that the lipstick that we use may be causing an allergy.
• By putting a cream, feel the skin very dry and stiff. No matter which is moisturizing cream. Sometimes, before an allergy, the skin responds getting stiffer immediately without evidence of inflammation.

They are, as you can see, little symptoms you should address yourself. Never overlook.
