The fourth method: Get rid of allergy on cosmetics

Usually we try cosmetics without any doctor’s recommendations. Such experience can cause a lot of problems, among them plenty of unpleasant symptoms and in the best possible scenario just absence of harm to our skin and health. First thing we should do as soon as we realized that allergy is caused by cosmetics is to consult dermatologist or allergist. We need to find out the cause of disease and eliminate it. Unfortunately every day we use huge amount of different cosmetics and this can be a real challenge to do.

First aid in case of cosmetics allergy:

As soon as you noticed the allergic reaction to cosmetics you should immediately remove all the cosmetics from your skin. Use as much water as you can.
Next step is rinsing our eyes. For those who use cosmetics for eyelashes it is absolutely needed. Use tea or chamomile for this purpose.
Try to avoid using cosmetics for few days.
Additionally stop using anything from cosmetics at home (chemicals for dishes, cleaning, any sprays etc.)
Antihistamines are usually recommended for people with allergies. Especially such disease happens often when changing the climate or during travelling. Medicines should be prescribed by doctor.
In case you need some help urgently but there are no doctors in the nearest future and no medicines you can use nettle. Prepare nettle everyday as it should be fresh like your tea.

Best way to cure the disease is to attack it from both sides externally and internally if it is possible. Unfortunately cosmetics are full of chemicals and preservatives and it is almost impossible to get rid of the disease without doctor. You can try but for short. In case your actions do not lead you to positive results you should immediately visit doctor.

Warning: You should be completely sure what you are curing. Unfortunately symptoms of allergies very often have very similar symptoms with some other diseases. Experts say that natural remedies are less harmful and more effective for our skin. You should also remember that any symptoms on the face, skin or elsewhere are just side effects of the disease. And if you managed to heal the rash it does not mean you cured yourself from the disease.
