[PSA] SKIN CARE FOR PROTESTERS

Beauty Tips For Body Care
FOR PEPPER SPRAY:-Don’t touch the exposed area! It will spread to other parts of your body through your hands-blink rapidly to make your eyes tear up. DO NOT RUB YOUR EYES-wash your face (or affected area) with cleaning SOAP and rinse with cool water for 3-5 minutes. Pepper spray is oil based, so water along won’t help long term (although it might provide instant relief) you need oil removing soap. (Even dish soap like dawn works)-don’t let the water you are flushing the affected area with trickle down the rest of your body, this will spread the pepper spray.-use “no tears” baby shampoo to rinse the eye area.FOR TEAR GAS:-the power in tear gas clings to mucus/bodily fluids. makeup has a similar consistency. So don’t wear makeup to protest, as well as oil-based sunscreen.-ABSOLUTELY no contact lenses, take them out immediately with clean fingers. The powder can get stuck between the contact lens and the eyeAfter exposure:-spray your face/ affected area with baking soda and water mixture. Three teaspoons for every 8.5 oz of water. (There is a lack of scientific ev, but people claim it works)-take off shoes/clothes before entering your home so that you do not spread the powder. Keep clothes outside for 2-5 days, wash them without anything else in the washing machine, twice.-20 minute cold shower, this prevents the tear gas from further irritating your skin.BLACKLIVESMATTERI would love to here long term solutions about how to help/soothe skin, and product recommendations ❤️
