Allergies of SkinThose with frequent and severe chemical allergies of skin and scalp can find it very difficult to obtain health and beauty products that agree with them. Sometimes it’s easier to make your own. When you stop for a moment to consider how many chemicals (most of them we can’t even pronounce) that you’re exposed to over the course of your daily life, you can begin to appreciate how difficult it is for those with chemical allergies to keep the rashes and attacks at bay. Making your own cleaning and beauty products can sometimes alleviate such allergies of skin. Soaps, detergents and cleaning products
One of the first chemical products that came to widespread public attention was the overwhelming amount of fragrances that were being used in laundry soaps and dish detergents. And no amount of rinsing seemed to be enough – spending a night on sheets washed in such soaps can be enough to give people hives to cover their whole bodies.
Many people find old time products such as Borax or special fragrance free versions of such products to be far superior. Some people even make their own soaps from especially gentle ingredients, such as glycerine or especially soothing oils. There are often non-toxic substitutes for many cleaning products that can cause rashes, such as baking soda and lemon juice. If you’re going to wear gloves to protect yourself from chemical exposure, make sure the gloves aren’t made of a substance you’re allergic to, as well. Lotions, perfumes and beauty products Many people react to the bevy of chemical that are often contained in cosmetics and fragrances. Even products that claim to be from natural sources can be processed in such a manner so as to leave industrial solvent in the mix. If you find yourself sensitive to such products, you can often make your own benign versions of these from various oils, fats and essential oils that are now available from many suppliers online. Or you may try the best of the best, the Rejuvion skin care cream. It contains 100% natural, 100% healthy and 100% active substances. People who can handle no cosmetics at all tolerate this cream very well! It is exeptional in every way, and there is nothing like it "out there". Even if you find a source for fragrance-free lotion you can use scented oils (ones that agree with you – check first!) to make sure your products have a scent you like and can handle. When you do have a breakout with allergies of skin, be sure to keep an eye out for any substance that could be causing it. Sometimes the cause is less than obvious. Sometimes the recurrence of a rash is the only way to determine what the two events have in common. |
