Itchy Skin Primer: Skin Allergies and Irritation Intro

Have a huge swelling pre-pimple? Insect bite/rash mixture? The current trend in the skin care industry is an obsession and fixation on anti-irritants and anti-inflammatories. Well, these two are actually very similar when it boils down to the bio-chemical level. Since so many gurus are so avidly against all irritations and inflammations, we should configure some potent anti-inflammatories and anti-irritants to avoid as much damage as possible!

Try these!!!

Claritin, Clarisil, or any OTC anti allergic medication.
A 2% hydrocortisone cream
Aspirin solution
Ibuprofen/Advil solution
Skin growth factor suspended in a film-forming gel
Aa mild cream with high concentration of BISABOLOL from chamomile (or chamomile extract), and glycyrrhizin (licorice extract)

Paula Begoun Products

Thus, you can apply it generously after getting some sun, or if you're feeling itchy on parts of your skin menthol and tee tree oil related products, such as good old Mentholatum.
