Why does my face feel tight after using hydrosol? Can it be used as a makeup setting spray?

Hydrosol is a skin care product that many people are familiar with. Its ingredients are relatively safe. It mainly extracts substances from plants through distillation. The ingredients are pure natural and no fragrance is added. What should I do if my face feels tight after using hydrosol? Can hydrosol be used as makeup setting spray?

Why does my face feel tight after using hydrosol?

It is caused by lack of water in the skin.

The molecules in skin care products such as hydrosol are very small and can penetrate into the underlying muscles of the skin. The tightness of the face after applying lotion is related to the degree of dehydration of the skin. The more dehydrated the skin is, the more obvious the tightness will be.

Hydrosol has the effect of shrinking pores. Although it can replenish water, it cannot shrink pores. After using the hydrosol, you need to apply lotion to shrink the pores, otherwise the hydrosol applied on the face will evaporate very quickly.

If your skin is extremely dry, applying a large amount of pure water at one time will cause the skin to peel.

The correct way to apply is to spray a small amount of pure dew on the flaky skin, pat it with your hands after each spray, then spray a small amount again, and pat it again. This action can be repeated several times. After spraying the hydrosol, apply other skin care products, such as essential oils and facial creams.

Can hydrosol be used as makeup setting spray?

No, hydrosol cannot replace makeup setting spray, the two have different effects.

Hydrosols are extracted from plants and have a relatively simple composition, without any added alcohol or flavors. Hydrosol has a fresh fragrance when you smell it. If you smell like essence, it is low-quality hydrosol. The effects of pure dew extracted from different plants are different. For example, the effect of rose pure dew is whitening. The hydrosol extracted from calendula has anti-inflammatory effect. Hydrosol can be used as a spray, but it is not a makeup setting spray, it can only be used as a moisturizing spray.

The ingredients of setting spray are more complicated than those of pure dew. They are mainly water and film-forming agents. Spraying setting spray can make the makeup stick to the skin, making the makeup look more natural and lasting. The water sprayed out from the makeup setting spray can form a film immediately, but pure dew does not have this function. Pure dew cannot form a film. Once pure dew is sprayed on makeup, it will immediately ruin the makeup.

That’s all I have to say about hydrosols. If your face feels tight after using it, it’s not because the hydrosol is ineffective, but because your face is dehydrated. There is a big difference between hydrosol and setting spray, and they cannot replace each other.
