Spring Allergy Skincare

When pollen, grasses, and other allergens increase in the air, your immune system can overreact—not just in your respiratory system (sneezing, congestion), but also through your skin. This can lead to:

• Redness or rashes

• Dryness and flakiness

• Itching or sensitivity

• Flare-ups of conditions like eczema or hives

This happens because allergens can trigger the release of histamines, which cause inflammation and disrupt your skin’s protective barrier, making it more prone to irritation and moisture loss.

To alleviate and prevent skin irritation during allergy season, consider the following tips:

• Wash Off Allergens: After spending time outdoors, shower and change clothes to remove pollen and other allergens.

• Use Gentle Skincare Products: Opt for fragrance-free and hypoallergenic moisturizers and cleansers to minimize irritation. All Aeemelia skincare products are free from synthetic fragrances and are gentle on sensitive skin.
  

By taking proactive steps, you can help protect your skin from the effects of spring allergies and maintain health and comfort.
