For those who want to moisturize but find moisturizers itchy.

Winters in Japan are very dry.
Therefore, it is important to protect the skin by applying moisturizer, though.
Here is what to do if you get itchy when you apply moisturizer.
Allergies are the most common cause of itching from moisturizers.
This is also known as urticaria.


Allergy is an inflammation.
If you apply something to an inflamed area, it will make the inflammation worse.

What to do for now if you itch after applying moisturizer.


First, wash off the moisturizer with water.
Cool it with water for a while.
