Skin rashes that itch include urticaria (hives), contact dermatitis and eczema. All will benefit from an over-the-counter oral anti-histamine. In addition, spritzing Thermal Spring Water will instantly calm itching. Then, reinforce your skin’s barrier with a hypoallergenic moisturiser. If itchy rashes are recurrent, try visiting an allergist to pinpoint the cause of your problems.

Skin is the #1 site of allergy manifestations which come in many different forms ranging from hives to milder reactions such as redness, burning, and itching. To treat skin allergic reactions, cleanse with a high-tolerance non-rinse cleanser to remove allergens, then soothe with a thermal water spray and follow up with an ultra-soothing barrier cream formulated for allergic skin types.
It is generally impossible to be allergic to your own skin. The only circumstance in which this occurs is sun allergy, where UV light modifies a substance in the skin, causing an allergic reaction.
This depends on the type of reaction. Urticaria (hives) should last no more than 24 hours. Contact dermatitis can take weeks to fade. Eczema is a chronic condition that needs to be managed over the course of years. More subtle allergic-like reactions (itching, burning sensations) can be rapidly soothed with a thermal water spray and hypoallergenic barrier cream.
Hypoallergenic simply means that a product (usually a cosmetic) is unlikely to cause allergic reactions. However, many brands lay claim to being hypoallergenic without robust testing protocols. TOLERIANE Ultra is tested on the most sensitive to allergic skin and has proven itself to be truly hypoallergenic.
By 2050, half of the world's population will have an allergy*, with 80% of sufferers experiencing skin symptoms.
