Plants are growing, flowers are blooming. As many of us feel tempted to open up our windows and seek outside to enjoy the emerging bird chirping and rising temperatures, the blossoming seasonal change means the beginning of symptoms like redness, puffiness, itchiness, and dryness for their skin. Spring time allergies are no joke. Though your skincare can't prevent the spring time allergies nor treat symptoms, it can help keep the impact on your skin at bay and offer a soothing treatment for overwhelmed skin.
How your skin reacts to spring allergies
Symptoms of spring allergy can show up on your skin in various ways. Always consult a doctor to get properly diagnosed and obtain the correct medication for your specific condition.
Typically, sufferers will experience:
- Inflammation and irritated skin (redness and irritation as the body tries to fend off irritants and allergens).
- Eczema flare-ups (skin may become dry, itchy, and inflamed due to the immune system's response to allergens).
- Conjunctivitis (swollen, red, or irritated skin in the eye area).
- Plus non-skin related symptoms like frequent sneezing, possible fatigue, coughing, and itchy throats.
Your skincare can't cure nor treat your symptoms – if you're bothered, the doctor's office is the way to go.
Farewell pollen, hello natural cleansing actives
Spring allergies occur when the immune system reacts to airborne particles – typically pollen from trees and grasses. Did you know pollen can settle on the skin after spending time outdoors? It's lightweight and carried by the wind, making it easy for it to land on various surfaces, including your skin and clothing. It's always a good idea to end your night with a gentle cleanser. Our Daily Foaming Cleanser soaks the skin in 100% natural cleansing actives to remove build-up and other harmful substances without stripping the skin of its natural, necessary oils.
Reduce swellings and puffiness in the eye area
Allergic reactions, particularly those affecting the respiratory system, can lead to nasal congestion, which causes blood vessels in the area to dilate, causing dark circles or a blush tint. Fluid retention and disrupted sleep can also contribute. Our first tip is probably not new to you: stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can help reduce fluid retention and therefore help alleviate puffiness around the eyes.
