Why does aloe vera gel sting?

Many people experience a tingling sensation on their skin when using aloe vera gel. This is a very common phenomenon. The reason for this symptom is that the skin lacks moisture or it may be that the skin is too sensitive. If the tingling sensation has not been relieved after using aloe vera gel, it proves that you are not suitable for using aloe vera gel. Be sure to pay attention not to use it again in the future, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on your skin.

Aloe vera gel is not authentic

If the skin irritation caused by this situation is caused, it is best to stop using the aloe vera gel and switch to a product of guaranteed quality.

Skin is too sensitive

If the skin's keratin barrier is not sound, the skin's tolerance to the outside world may be poor, and the slightest stimulation may cause stinging pain. In this case, stop using aloe vera gel which causes stinging to the skin and use more oil-containing products to help the skin regain moisture and improve its barrier.

You can use lotion, moisturizing essence, etc. to replenish the skin with moisture before using aloe vera gel.
