Although this surfactant is not harmful per se, it is nevertheless quite strong and generally recommended for oily rather than sensitive skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> There are many other cleansing ingredients that are much gentler.

In fact, not only the usual culprits, such as dust mites and pollens, are involved, but also new allergens that we haven't had to deal with until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New allergens responsible for inflammatory reactions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These newcomers can nestle in the air: pollution and global warming are making certain pollens more aggressive, encouraging respiratory allergies. They sometimes find their way into our household products or homemade cosmetics, and\/or those containing exotic active ingredients. They also squat on our plates if they contain ultra-processed foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Irritating face wash: a source of skin allergies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside these new allergens, we're also seeing the emergence of problems associated with the use of facial cleansing gels.

Symptoms include redness, itching, swelling and the appearance of small, fluid-laden pimples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to choose the right cleanser for your skin type?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid the risk of skin allergies linked to the use of facial cleansing gels, it is essential to&nbsp;<strong>choosing the right product for your skin type<\/strong>. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right cleaner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Opt for gentle formulas<\/strong>&nbsp;Choose soap-free and alcohol-free cleansers, which are less irritating for the skin. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/cleansing-care\/best-dry-skin-gel\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"5937\">The best cleansing gels for dry skin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid artificial fragrances and colorants<\/strong>&nbsp;These ingredients can cause allergies and irritation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Read the list of ingredients carefully<\/strong>&nbsp;Check if the product contains substances to which you are sensitive or allergic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pre-testing<\/strong>&nbsp;Before using a new product, apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area of your skin to check for allergic reactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do in case of skin allergy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If, despite all these precautions, you experience symptoms of a skin allergy after using an irritating face wash, here are a few tips to soothe your skin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stop using the offending product<\/strong>&nbsp;If you have an allergy: stop using the cleansing gel immediately and consult a dermatologist to determine the exact cause of your allergy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply soothing creams<\/strong>&nbsp;Itching: cortisone-based products or antihistamines can help relieve itching and redness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintain skin hydration<\/strong>&nbsp;Use moisturizers adapted to your skin type to prevent it from drying out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose hypoallergenic products<\/strong>&nbsp;When choosing a new cleanser, opt for dermatologically tested formulas specially designed for sensitive skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It's essential to choose the right face wash to avoid the risk of skin allergies.
