Why does facial cleanser cause stinging pain when washing face?

The main function of facial cleanser is to help women remove dirt on their faces. However, many women experience facial pain when using facial cleanser. This is actually because the degreasing factors in the facial cleanser penetrate into the oil, sebum and keratin in the facial pores. These substances help the human face prevent external stimuli, which also reflects that women's skin is too dry.

Reasons why facial cleanser stings when washing your face:

1. Cleansers wash away sebum and natural moisturizers that retain moisture in the keratin, causing dry skin.

Every time you wash your face, it is an important step in moisturizing. The delicate foam can penetrate deep into the pores and cleanse the stains on the skin. If the foaming facial cleanser contains rich nourishing ingredients, it can also enable the nourishing ingredients to enter the pores smoothly.

2. Completely foam-free facial cleansers should be used in combination with foam-type facial cleansers, otherwise they cannot be thoroughly cleaned, causing oil accumulation and causing skin problems

3. Sometimes when we use skin care products, our face will feel a tingling sensation. When we use facial cleanser, our face will also feel a tingling sensation. This is actually a truth, which means that there is a problem with the facial skin or the facial cleanser. Under normal circumstances, there will be no tingling sensation on the face after using facial cleanser. Therefore, when the above situation occurs, we must pay attention to it. Let’s take a look at the reasons that may cause tingling on the face after applying facial cleanser.

4. The most basic function of facial cleanser is to clean the skin. Depending on the different ingredients it contains, the cleaning power is also different. Among them, facial cleanser containing soap ingredients has the strongest cleaning power and can effectively remove skin oil and dirt. While cleaning, it also takes away some of the moisture in the skin and helps the skin exfoliate. This type of facial cleanser has a very strong cleansing power. After long-term use, it will cause the skin's stratum corneum to become thinner or even crack, and the skin will feel a corresponding stinging pain.

5. Facial cleanser is a cleansing product. Any facial cleanser will take away some moisture in the skin while cleansing the skin. This is a normal phenomenon. However, if the skin is already dehydrated and dry, using facial cleanser to cleanse the face will make the skin even drier and it will easily cause a stinging sensation.

6. The choice of facial cleanser is crucial. Different skin types correspond to different types of facial cleansers. If you choose the wrong facial cleanser, your skin will not only feel a stinging sensation, but may even become red, swollen and painful. For example, if a person with dry skin uses an oil-control facial cleanser, the skin will be irritated by the cleansing and experience a stinging sensation.
