Stinging sensation after applying something on face

For today's women, applying skin care products and cosmetics has become a daily must-do task when going out. However, sometimes due to skin sensitivity and the ingredients of the products, a tingling sensation may occur after applying them on the face. The biggest reason for a stinging sensation after applying something to the face is that the individual's skin is highly sensitive to the product, or that the product ingredients are irritating to the customer themselves.

1. The skin is severely dehydrated and a red light is flashing.

When the skin is thirsty, it will not only remind you by feeling tight and itchy, but in severe cases it will also cause peeling, rashes, and stinging. When the skin is dry and dehydrated, invisible small wounds will form. At this time, even skin care products with mild ingredients can easily cause irritation, but this feeling will disappear quickly. When this happens, the most effective solution is to replenish moisture to the skin as soon as possible. You can start by applying a moisturizing mask every day for a week. If you are worried that your sensitive skin cannot withstand the strong effects of a highly moisturizing mask, you can first apply mineral water for a few days (use mineral water to DIY facial mask sheets) for about 15 minutes at a time, and then slowly transition to a professional moisturizing mask.

2. Some ingredients in cosmetics are inherently irritating.

If you have sensitive skin or have wounds on your face, you must remember to stay away from irritating ingredients when choosing skin care products, such as high concentrations of alcohol, salicylic acid, fruit acid, A acid, vitamin C, etc. Some high-concentration essential oil products should also be used with caution. Products with too much added fragrance are not suitable for you. It is recommended to choose cosmetics with natural and mild ingredients.

3. The skin is sensitive to new ingredients in cosmetics and is still in the adaptation period.

Another type of "stinging" occurs after changing skin care products. When the skin comes into contact with a certain ingredient for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be discomfort. For example, if two people use a product rich in salicylic acid at the same time, the one who has never used salicylic acid products will most likely experience sensitive pain; while the person who has been using various high-concentration acids will not feel anything, and may even think it is not strong enough! Therefore, when using new products, you must pay attention to controlling the dosage and frequency, and proceed step by step. When an obvious tingling sensation occurs, you can change from once a day to once every two days to allow the skin to adapt.
