There are no ugly women in nature. Is it so? On this matter, people have different opinions. Feminine charm and beauty can work wonders. But in order to keep fit and be beautiful 24 hours a day, women have to put in a lot of effort, whether it's a top model or a simple housewife.
Bella Hadid , a successful and sought-after model, shared with us her beauty secrets that she uses outside of her profession. According to her, natural beauty is now back in trend. Therefore, Bella advises using nude shades of varnish and natural shades of mascara. The girl also says “no” to false eyelashes, considering this a sign of bad taste. Eyelash extensions for a model are an acceptable option only if a professional takes over.
Bright makeup, manicure in the style of "disco" fade into the background. Now such methods of attracting attention are resorted to only at fashion shows or at thematic photo shoots. In everyday life, even models allow themselves to only lightly tint their eyelashes, and that's enough.
As another girl from the world of modeling Gigi Hadid , naturalness is valued much more than the artificially created appearance of a doll. Another reason for refusing complex makeup can be problematic skin. Allergy to cosmetic products has spoiled more than one pretty face, making its owner nervous. It is especially insulting for a girl to discover that the reaction was caused by ordinary mascara.
What to do with an allergy to mascara, how to choose the right remedy, what is the prevention - we will try to answer all the questions in order.
The first signs of an allergy to mascara
If you are at risk, you should know how an allergy to mascara manifests itself. You can suspect something is wrong by the following signs:
- After applying a layer of mascara, the eyes begin to itch. Itching does not stop even after removing the product from the eyelashes.
- Lachrymation and irritation of the mucous membrane of the eyes.
- Swelling of the face and/or rash around the eyelids.
- Acne in the area of the eyelids.
- The effect of tearful eyes.
- Redness in the eyeballs.
Selection of safe mascara
Allergy sufferers are very sensitive to the selection of personal hygiene and skin care products. Cosmetics are also not suitable for all. The label "hypoallergenic" on the tube allows you to be sure that the manufacturer has taken care of your safety. But there is also individual intolerance to individual components, which, unfortunately, is impossible to predict.
Please note that most often the allergy manifests itself in mascara with a dye of blue, brown, purple shades. Black color gives an allergic reaction less often. Ink that does not cause allergies is usually sold in pharmacies in a series of hypoallergenic cosmetics.
Treatment and prevention
A mascara allergy can be a real hassle if you don't take steps to treat it. Therefore, urgent measures need to be taken, namely:
- wash off the product with clean water without chemicals - it is better not to use an anti-makeup agent, it may contain aggressive components;
- drink an antihistamine (Suprastin, Cetrin, Claritin or another with a similar effect);
- rinse eyes again with running water;
- You can apply cotton pads soaked in tea to swollen eyes.
Drops will help remove redness from the eyes.
Vizin, for example. It is important to give the eyes a rest after an acute reaction to the coloring component. A month or more will have to take a break from makeup - it all depends on the type of your skin and the immune system that fights the allergen.
By the way, an allergy may not appear immediately, but only after the accumulation of an amount sufficient to explode the immune system. Then a failure occurs and the body begins to fight with a foreign substance.
Suspicions can be confirmed or refuted only by visiting the office of an allergist and making the necessary tests. Fortune telling on coffee grounds for the presence or absence of an allergy to mascara usually ends badly. Competent treatment prescribed by a specialist will allow you to forget about an acute allergic reaction, at least for a while. If you follow preventive measures, you may be able to get rid of allergies forever.
Dermatologists-allergists also advise after returning to applying makeup after resting the face, change mascara at least once every two months. Also, use only fresh and high-quality cosmetics. You can’t save on health, otherwise the saved money will have to be spent later on allergy pills and ointments.
