What habits will cause tingling sensation when applying facial mask

The mask is not suitable for your skin type

Sometimes you may feel a tingling sensation after applying a facial mask, or even local redness. This is actually because the mask is not suitable for your skin type, or your skin's tolerance is relatively poor at this time. Therefore, it is best to use some soothing products to protect the skin at this time and stop using those functional products and masks.

The face is not clean

This does not mean that the makeup is not removed thoroughly, but the cleansing products that remain in the corners of the face after cleansing or the shampoo products that splash onto the face after bathing. If these products are not washed off the face, they will cause a stinging sensation during subsequent skin care.

Skin is extremely dehydrated

If you feel a tingling sensation when applying a facial mask, one of the first reasons you should consider is that your face is extremely dehydrated. At this time, the facial skin is dry, tight, and even peeling, especially for sensitive skin. Therefore, you must apply a layer of toner before applying the mask, which can not only moisturize the skin, but also make the subsequent mask fit better. If you have sensitive skin, it is best to do some tests before applying the mask to prevent allergies.

Facial skin discomfort

Redness and peeling of the nose caused by blowing your nose when you have a cold, peeling of the skin around the mouth due to inflammation, and small wounds after squeezing pimples are all facial skin discomforts. In fact, it is not suitable to apply a facial mask in this state, especially a cleansing mask. If you don't hurt, who will?

Sensitivity caused by temperature difference

In summer, many girls will choose to put their facial masks in the refrigerator, and then have an iced mask at night. It sounds great, right? But in fact, this behavior can also cause skin sensitivity! Your red blood streaks may be caused by this situation. If you feel a tingling sensation on your face at this time, don't think it is hydrating.

Why does the mung bean mask cause tingling?

Considering that the skin is too dry

When the skin is very dry, there will be some minor wounds on the surface, and the skin sensitivity will also increase. If you suddenly apply a mung bean paste mask, the skin will receive excessive nutrients and moisture, and it will easily cause a stinging sensation if it absorbs too quickly.

Normally, after applying it on the face for 2-3 minutes, the tingling sensation will slowly disappear, and after applying it several times, the tingling sensation will no longer occur.

Countermeasure: Increase hydration on a regular basis. Using a moisturizing spray before applying the mung bean paste mask can avoid the stinging sensation caused by dry skin.

I think I'm allergic to the mask.

If people with sensitive skin experience a strong tingling sensation accompanied by burning or itching when applying a mung bean paste mask, it is most likely that they are allergic to the mask.

Countermeasure: Wash off the remaining mask on your face and apply ice milk to calm your face. Also, do an allergy test on the back of your hand before trying a new mask.

Consider containing irritating ingredients

The quality of mung bean paste masks is not up to standard. They contain more irritating ingredients, such as alcohol. After applying them on the face, if there are minor wounds or open pimples on the face, it is likely to cause a stinging sensation.

Countermeasure: Choose mung bean paste masks carefully and choose masks supplied by regular manufacturers. Do not use if you have severe open acne on your face.

I think it's been applied for too long.

Mung bean paste masks are different from ordinary direct-applied masks. They will form lumps and become dry after being applied for a long time. If the facial muscles move slightly, they will rub against the skin, causing pain and easily causing fine lines. Therefore, it is generally recommended that the mung bean paste mask should not be applied for more than 15 minutes.

Countermeasure: Wash off the mask with clean water immediately. If the mung bean paste mask dries too quickly, you can spray some moisturizing water while applying it to maintain its moisture.

Consider that the mask temperature is too low

Some people like to put facial masks in the refrigerator. Every time they take them out, they apply them directly on their face without waiting for the mask to return to room temperature. The skin is easily stimulated by the cold and may feel a stinging sensation. Moreover, due to the cold stimulation, the pores will shrink and the effect of applying the mask will be greatly reduced.

Countermeasure: After taking out the mask, put it in a mask bowl and heat it in warm water for 10 minutes before use.
