There are millions of beauty products from shampoo to perfume to the latest cosmetic trend. However, it is important to remember that many people have cosmetic allergies as a reaction to cosmetic ingredients so always proceed with caution. Symptoms can range from a small rash to a full-blown allergic reaction. It is also important to note that just because that product suited you in the past does not mean it cannot affect you differently now. In other words, you can become allergic to a new cosmetic product or an existing one.

Possible symptoms include:

• redness
• swelling
• itching and hives

So what’s the culprit causing these symptoms? It’s usually found in fragrances and preservatives with highly complicated names.
