What causes a tingling sensation when using skin care products? What should I do if I feel a tingling sensation when using skin care products?

Skin care is something that all beauty-loving girls have to do every day. Since there are too many skin care brands on the market, you should pay attention to choosing the right skin care products for yourself, otherwise it is likely to be counterproductive. So what is the reason for the stinging feeling of skin care products? What should I do if I feel a stinging feeling when using skin care products?

1. Severe dehydration of the skin. If the skin is dehydrated, it will feel tight and itchy. In severe cases, it will also cause peeling and stinging. When the skin is dry and dehydrated, invisible small wounds will appear on the surface of the skin, so it is easy to feel irritation when using skin care products, that is, stinging. However, this feeling will disappear quickly, so there is no need to worry too much.

2. Some ingredients in skin care products are irritating. For people with sensitive skin or wounds on their faces, try not to choose skin care products that contain irritating ingredients. For example, some skin care products contain high concentrations of alcohol, salicylic acid, fruit acid, etc., which can easily irritate sensitive skin. In addition, some high-concentration essential oil products should also be used with caution, and products with a lot of fragrances should not be used.

3. The skin is more sensitive to new ingredients in skin care products. Sometimes after changing skin care products, the skin will easily feel uncomfortable when it comes into contact with certain ingredients for the first time, and it is also easy to feel a tingling sensation. Therefore, when using new products, you must pay attention to controlling the number of times and the amount of use to allow the skin to have a period of adaptation.

4. The quality of skin care products. If your skin feels stinging or even turns red after applying skin care products, it is very likely that the quality of the skin care products is not good. At present, there are many types of skin care products, and the prices of skin care products from different brands vary greatly, ranging from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan. It is recommended that you do not use skin care products that are too low or even some unbranded skin care products. This type of skin care product can easily irritate the skin, causing skin allergies.

It is necessary to rinse with clean water in time. If there is a tingling sensation after using skin care products, and this sensation lasts for more than three minutes and there are other adverse conditions, the skin surface should be cleaned as soon as possible, and the cause of the tingling sensation should be determined and appropriate measures should be taken. Under normal circumstances, no matter what the cause is, the tingling sensation will not last too long. There are two reasons for the tingling sensation after using skin care products. On the one hand, it may be skin allergies caused by skin care products, and on the other hand, it may be excessive hydration, which the skin cannot bear for a while. In either case, the tingling sensation will end within one minute.

Before choosing skin care products, we must fully understand the characteristics of our own skin and know what we want, so that we can choose accurately and avoid minefields. Skin types are generally oily, neutral, dry, mixed, and sensitive. Oily skin: large pores, strong oil secretion, prone to acne; (skin care focus: oil control + moisturizing + acne removal). Dry skin: relatively small pores, dry and tight, sometimes peeling, fine lines will be more obvious; (skin care focus: hydration + strong moisturizing). Neutral skin: the best skin condition, not oily or dry, no acne, no allergies; (skin care focus: daily hydration to maintain). Mixed skin: oil and water imbalance, the T zone of the face is oily, but the cheeks are very dry; (skin care focus: zone skin care). Sensitive skin: thin stratum corneum, easy to redness and swelling, allergies. (skin care focus: streamlined skin care).

Test behind the ear: The skin behind the ear is more sensitive and closer to the facial skin. Therefore, many people choose to do an allergy test behind the ear. Apply a small amount of the product to the back of the ear for more than one hour and observe the skin condition behind the ear. If there is no abnormality, it can be used normally. Test the inside of the arm: Soak a clean gauze with distilled water or saline, wring it until half dry and fold it into a suitable size, apply the product on it and apply it to the inside of the arm, cover it with plastic film, and secure it with tape. If it is fine after more than 48 hours, generally speaking, normal use will not cause allergies.
