If your complexion seems constantly itchy, chapped or very rough, you may be allergic to certain foods or cosmetics. Your doctor and /or a dermatologist can usually help you track down the cause. If cosmetics are the problem, you can minimize irritations by using hypo-allergenic creams & make up. If in spite of that you still think a cosmetic you are using has triggered off a reaction, try to consider whether it is just an intolerance or insensitivity – a feeling of discomfort (EG wrong consistency) – rather than a real allergy.
Try patch test. Dab the product on the inside of your wrist & wait 24 hours. If reddening or swelling occurs, you are probably allergic to an ingredient in the product & should stop using it. Cosmetics ingredients that can damage the skin are either primary irritants or sensitizers. Primary irritants disturb the skin soon after application so they can be easily identified & avoided. However the allergic to a sensitizer takes longer to develop – perhaps after weeks or months of trouble free wearing of a product.
