Beauty treatments can be a great way to enhance the look and feel of your skin. However, it is essential to be aware of the potential side effects that may occur. Redness and blemishes on the skin are the most common reactions to a facial treatment. This could be due to the exfoliation pressure and any extraction, or to any of the ingredients used during the procedure.
To help your skin recover, it is best to avoid wearing makeup or any other product for the first or second day after the facial treatment. It is also recommended to avoid getting a facial treatment three days before an important event where you want to look your best. Breakouts can be caused by a variety of factors, such as hormonal imbalance, certain medications, improper diet, etc. However, regular makeup use can worsen your problems and lead to more frequent breakouts.
Skin experts agree that people with acne-prone skin should limit their use of makeup and apply less makeup in order to improve skin health and reduce blackheads. When shopping for makeup products, it is important to note that while some products may look similar, the ingredients can vary from brand to brand. Products that are formulated with gentle ingredients are less likely to harm your skin. However, products with harmful chemicals such as paraben and SLES can cause allergic reactions and lead to itchiness and discomfort on the skin. It is also important to note that sleeping with makeup on all night can damage your skin significantly. Free radicals created by pollution and the sun can affect collagen, weaken the skin and cause changes in skin color.
For example, when long-lasting lipsticks are used for more than 10 hours, they darken the color of the lips due to ingredients that block oxygen supply. Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. While there is not enough evidence to affirm a correlation between makeup products and skin cancer, some ingredients such as formaldehyde, coal tar, arsenic, silica, and chromium are known to be carcinogenic. Therefore, it is important to know your skin type and buy products that fit your skin and don't cause any allergic reactions. Check the product label carefully for any ingredients you may be allergic to. The most typical side effects of a facial treatment are redness and spots on the skin.
To help your skin recover, it is best not to wear makeup or any other product on the skin for the first or second day after the facial treatment. It is also recommended to schedule your treatment three days before an important event in which you want to look your best so that your face has time to dissipate any redness. When facial treatments are implemented correctly and effectively, tremendous improvements can be seen on the skin's surface immediately without the interference of medications. However, certain medications such as Aleve, Ibuprofen, and Tylenol can have adverse effects when combined with UV lights, creams, and other topical products during facial treatments such as photofacials or laser rejuvenation. Most side effects are spontaneous but more serious reactions may require medical treatment. If your regular medical professional believes that you have little or no risk of suffering photosensitive side effects or reducing the effectiveness of the treatment, contact your licensed esthetician to begin scheduling your next facial treatment procedure.
