Redness on face after using makeup

When you walk into a girl’s room, you will find that almost every girl has a large number of cosmetics and skin care products. Those bottles and jars that dazzle boys are girls’ favorites. There are more and more people who love beauty, and there are also many kinds of cosmetics on the market. Some girls only look at what is popular when choosing cosmetics, and end up with redness on their faces after using them. Why is this?

I believe many people have encountered this situation: they have just bought skin care products and are very happy about it. They plan to use them after cleansing their face at night and then have a good sleep. But something unpleasant happened again: after using skin care products, my face felt uncomfortable, started to get hot, red, stinging, and had pimples...

This has happened repeatedly, causing most people to be afraid of using skin care products. Even if they come across a skin care product that suits their skin, they dare not try it again.

Next, let’s take a look at why your face becomes hot, red, and stinging after using skin care products?

This is actually a skin allergic reaction. Secondly, it is the result of long-term use of products with common preservatives (such as phenoxyethanol, formaldehyde releasers, parabens, MIT), etc., and then suddenly switching to plant-based alternative protective products, which causes an adaptation period reaction on the face (of course, it varies from person to person, and not everyone is the same).

The main reason is whether our own skin barrier is intact? What is the degree of skin keratin damage?

The so-called "barrier repair" actually means restoring these three things: keratinocytes, intercellular lipids and sebum to normal.

Reasons for facial heat and redness after using skin care products:

1. Damage to the stratum corneum leads to skin sensitivity

Some people's skin becomes sensitive and their resistance is greatly reduced due to long-term use of exfoliating products (exfoliating facial cleansers, scrubs, etc.). Such skin is particularly picky about skin care products and will become allergic when encountering irritants. Therefore, after using skin care products that are not suitable for them, their face will become hot, red, and stinging.

2. Using too much force when cleaning your face

Some people with sensitive skin often look oily due to the imbalance of water and oil on their face. Or some people work outdoors for a long time, and when they get home they are always worried that their skin is not washed clean or cleaned thoroughly. Therefore, when cleansing the face, people use too much force, which damages the skin's stratum corneum and even washes away all the oil on the skin's surface. In fact, many people don't know that oil has a certain protective effect on our skin. Excessive force when cleansing will cause the skin on your face to feel tight and uncomfortable after cleansing.

3. Improper selection of skin care products

Most people are blind when choosing skin care products. They are not clear about what kind of skin care products their skin needs, so when purchasing skin care products, they only look at the functions and effects (for example, if the skin is dry, they still want to remove spots and acne marks, etc.). They have no idea whether the products are suitable for their current skin, which causes skin discomfort.
