Recently, the Bigg Boss reality show shoot had to be stalled for about 30 minutes when host Salman Khan turned red in the face. Before you guess who brought out this colour in him, let's clear the air and tell you it was due to a skin allergy and not because he lost his cool.
Apparently, the skin reaction occurred after he used some cosmetic product on his face. There were rashes on it and his face was red. The shoot was stopped for half-an-hour before it could be resumed again. Turns out, Salman was not bothered too much about it and did not throw any tantrums whatsoever.
What we think
Skin allergies are common during the monsoons due to increased bacterial infections and humidity. Many people have sensitive skin and even the slightest change in weather can trigger a reaction. Also, oily skin becomes more prone to acne if not kept clean. (Read: The Complete Monsoon Health and Beauty Guide)
Use of old cosmetics also causes skin rashes. This is because once the product is beyond its expiry date, the preservative in it can become ineffective and some actives can become stronger which cause allergies and irritation on the skin.
Experts advise to drink lots of water and keep the skin clean and dry to avoid any infections and allergies. If it persists for long, visit a skin specialist who can prescribe the correct medication. (Read: How your old cosmetics could harm your skin)
