Brilio.net - Using skincare as part of facial care has become an important routine for many people. Skincare not only helps keep skin healthy and radiant, but also plays a role in overcoming various skin problems such as acne, premature aging, and hyperpigmentation. However, it is important to remember that not all skincare products are suitable for every skin type. For some people, the use of certain products causes negative reactions, which are often referred to as skincare allergies.
Skincare allergies appear in various forms, ranging from redness, itching, to rashes or swelling on the face. This reaction usually occurs because the skin reacts to one of the ingredients in the product used. Therefore, it is important to always check the composition of the product and do a patch test before applying it to the entire face.
For those with sensitive skin or who have experienced skincare allergies, choosing products that are safe and free from allergy-triggering ingredients is very important. In addition, if you experience allergy symptoms after using a particular product, there are several steps you can take to relieve them, including using natural ingredients that soothe the skin.
