When will the allergy to cosmetics go away?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, a friend recommended a cosmetic to me, so I bought a set. After applying it, I felt a burning and painful sensation on my face for over two hours. Worried that I might be allergic, I quickly washed my face. However, some bumps still appeared. I am concerned about the allergic reaction to the cosmetic. When will it heal?

Doctor's answer:

After experiencing an allergic reaction to cosmetics, you should immediately stop using such products. You can take some antiallergic medication orally and then clean your skin with clean lukewarm water. Generally speaking, skin allergies are not particularly severe, and the skin will gradually return to normal within about two or three days. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to skin care and drink more water to effectively promote the decomposition and metabolism of skin toxins. When it comes to cosmetics, it is essential to choose products that suit your skin type and avoid trying new ones.
