Why does it feel stinging when applying eye mask?

Applying facial mask is a favorite beauty method for modern beauty lovers, because it is simple and effective, and it is very effective in improving skin conditions.

However, why do some people feel a tingling sensation when applying eye masks?

The first thing to confirm is that under normal circumstances, the skin will not feel a stinging sensation after applying the eye mask. If the skin feels a stinging sensation, there must be something wrong with some links. For example, when the skin is extremely dehydrated, there will be a stinging sensation after using the eye mask. When the skin is irritated and allergic, there will also be a stinging sensation when using the eye mask. There are different treatments for different situations.

Dehydrated skin can cause stinging sensation

Eye mask is a skin care product applied to the skin around the eyes. It has the effect of hydrating and moisturizing. It is an emergency product in itself that can quickly inject moisture into the skin in a short period of time. The skin around the eyes is relatively weak and easily dehydrated. When the skin around the eyes is in a state of extreme dehydration and is suddenly filled with a large amount of water, the cells will be stimulated and produce a slight tingling sensation.

Skin allergies may cause stinging sensation

After using the eye mask, the skin feels stinging, which may be a manifestation of skin allergy. There are two reasons for skin allergies. One is that the skin is fragile and sensitive and prone to allergies. The other is that the eye mask contains certain irritating ingredients, which irritate the skin and cause allergies. The irritating ingredients may be harmful or may just be unsuitable for your skin.

What to do if the eye mask causes stinging

Pain caused by lack of water

If the stinging is caused by lack of water on the skin, then you just need to increase the moisture of the skin. Apply eye cream once a day in the morning and evening. It is best to choose a hydrating eye cream. Apply eye mask regularly 2-3 times a week, and the stinging sensation will soon disappear.

Stinging pain caused by allergies

If the stinging is caused by allergies, whether it is due to personal skin quality, the ingredients of the eye mask, or the quality of the eye mask, it proves that this eye mask is not suitable for your skin. In this case, it is best to replace it with another brand of eye mask.
