It's the season when allergies get worse.
There are many people who are especially troubled by hay fever.
My mother has also suffered from hay fever for many years, and it's so sad to see her like that.
I was also surprised by something I saw on a TV program recently due to allergies, so I'm going to write about it here again.
Are you aware of dermal sensitization?
Quoting from the website of the National Center for Child Health and Development, a national research and development organization, normal skin is protected by keratin, making it difficult for foreign substances to penetrate.
However, if you have eczema or other skin conditions, when allergens pass through the skin barrier and enter the epidermis or dermis, they react with immune cells and cause sensitization, which is called "percutaneous sensitization."
Recently, food allergies caused by percutaneous sensitization have become widespread in society.
The person doesn't know that the food is actually incompatible with them, and they touch it unknowingly, and the allergen enters the body through the skin. At the time, they just feel a little strange, don't notice, and don't make a big deal out of it. Then, if they eat it later, they go into shock. This is a food allergy that starts on the skin.
It seems to be common these days!
And, this is occupational percutaneous sensitization, and it seems that the number of people who are developing food allergies is increasing.
One example that the doctor mentioned on TV was, if you work at a beer garden and you carry beer mugs, right? If you pour beer into the mug or something and the beer gets on your hands or you touch it, and then you drink beer afterwards, you'll develop a beer allergy.
Also, even if it is not work-related, could it be due to the increased opportunities to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic? It is widely believed that many young women are affected!
Since you're wearing a mask, you don't have to put in as much effort with makeup around your mouth, right?
So, more and more people are trying to emphasize the area around their eyes to make them more visible.
When it comes to working hard around the eyes, it's all about eyeshadow!
The person in question was using pink eyeshadow, and although she felt itchy, she continued to use it...
And what a surprise!
After that, I tried the pink macaron and it was crazy!
Her eyelids were so swollen it was like she was out of this world.
The cause of this is said to be cochineal, a red coloring agent whose main component is carminic acid extracted from scale insects (insects native to Central and South America).
I heard that it is a popular food coloring that gives off a fascinating pink color. Besides macarons, other typical foods that contain cochineal pigment include fish sausages, kamaboko, ham, and strawberry milk.
It certainly has a lovely, cute pink color.
If the strawberry milk wasn't like that, I might not have picked it up.
Back to the main topic!
In this way, percutaneous sensitization can cause allergies, and percutaneous sensitization can also lead to food allergies, so it is important to always keep your skin in good condition.
My teacher told me to keep my hands in good condition.
Apparently, rough hands often cause allergies!
Therefore, it seems that it is necessary to take measures against allergies by moisturizing your hands frequently and preventing the entry of allergens!
So, if you simply think, "Oh, it's just skin irritation," and leave it alone, you might end up developing an allergy!
Make sure to wrap your skin in moisturizing cream from the top of your head to the soles of your feet!
I definitely recommend ar*'s Skin Veil , which has water-repellent properties!!!
