Most people sometimes experience irritation, inflammation, and redness on their face, which spoil their appearance. If everything is fine with your health, then the cause may be improper cosmetic care, the use of aggressive chemicals, or too harsh scrubbing. In this situation, soothing masks at home will help, because they activate cellular metabolism and start blood circulation processes. As a result, inflammation and irritation are eliminated, redness goes away and complexion is evened out.

When to and when not to use a soothing mask
Skin hypersensitivity is a problem that occurs in 25% of women. They are 5 times more likely to encounter not only cosmetic defects, but also dermatoses. Therefore, women need daily facial skin care. Using sedatives reduces the risk of:
- contact and atopic dermatitis;
- telangiectasia (spider veins);
- eczema;
- rosacea.
Cosmetologists and dermatologists advise using anti-inflammatory cosmetics for:
- peeling;
- redness;
- rashes;
- bags under the eyes;
- tingling.
Itching, pain, and blistering rash on the face are clear signs of unhealthy skin. To calm it down, use masks with moisturizing, healing, anti-inflammatory components.
In case of hypersensitivity, chemical and mechanical peeling, scrubs and creams with acids are not recommended. After cleansing, the epidermis becomes thinner, causing irritation to become more pronounced.
Before using facial products, you should consult a specialist. It is contraindicated to apply soothing masks when:
- skin erosion;
- oncological diseases;
- relapses of allergic dermatoses;
- abrasions and wounds;
- trichophytosis;
- burns.
When choosing basic and auxiliary ingredients, you need to take into account the degree of dehydration, the severity of skin defects, and individual intolerance to the components. To exclude unwanted reactions, apply cosmetics to the wrist for 1 hour before use. If allergies do not manifest themselves, you can smear your face with it.
