You can exercise to treat skin allergies. Exercise can promote blood circulation and burn fat. It is also effective in detoxifying the skin.

People with skin allergies are suitable to do some light exercise. Avoid heavy exercise that causes sweating, which may make the condition worse.

Exercise has many effects on the human body. While it has benefits, there are also areas where you must be more careful. For example, intense exercise for more than 90 minutes will release stress hormones and suppress the immune system for several hours, which is not good for people with allergies. Some patients have both allergies and joint problems, and exercise may increase the burden on their joints and cause joint pain. Therefore, if you want to improve allergies through exercise, you must choose appropriate exercise, which will be helpful to your health.

2. How to treat facial allergies

2.1. Stay away from allergens

Allergens are a necessary condition for the occurrence of allergies. Without allergens, allergies can be avoided. This is an economical and effective method, but it is not useful for all allergy patients.

2.2. Medication

The method commonly used in hospitals to treat allergies is to use antihistamines, such as chlorpheniramine, astemizole, minke, Claritin, etc.

Histamine is one of the main allergy mediators. Clearing histamine and preventing it from acting on body tissues can indeed have a rapid anti-allergy effect. However, in addition to histamine, allergic mediators also include leukotrienes, 5-hydroxytryptamine, kinase and other allergic mediators, and antihistamines only resist histamine.

2.3 Use of hormones

The therapeutic effect of hormones on allergic diseases is very obvious, but the side effects are too great and you should not take too much of them. Especially systemic administration can cause obesity, hirsutism, acne, increased blood sugar, hypertension, osteoporosis, etc.

2.4 Desensitization therapy

Using the principle of the body's drug resistance, if the body gradually adapts to a certain allergen, then this allergen will no longer cause allergies in the body.

Generally, we first confirm which allergen causes the allergy, and then implant the antigen preparation of this allergy into the body, starting with a small dose and a short time, and then gradually increase the dose and the time to allow the body to gradually adapt to this antigen until it is completely adapted to this antigen.

3. How to care for facial allergies

When caring for your skin at night, use fruit or vegetable juice. It not only nourishes the skin but also prevents skin allergies.

Use skin care products made from natural plants, such as skin care products or facial masks made from vegetables and fruits. It is not advisable to use nutritional skin care products and facial masks containing drugs or animal proteins because the skin is prone to allergies.

If you are allergic to cold wind and ultraviolet rays, you should protect your skin when going out. For example, wear a cold-proof hat and mask in winter to prevent the cold wind. In summer, you should hold an umbrella or wear a sun hat, apply sunscreen on your face and prevent exposure to the sun.

Wash your face with cold water to increase skin resistance. If your skin is not adapted to the condition, you can first use warm water (20℃-30℃), then gradually lower the water temperature, and use a facial cleanser made from natural ingredients or a less irritating soap. It is best to use an allergy-free facial cleanser.
