What is the reason for the stinging feeling when applying the eye mask? What should I do if the eye mask stings?

Applying eye mask is something many people use every day, and it can make the skin around the eyes better. But what is the reason for the stinging feeling when applying the eye mask?

What causes stinging sensation when applying eye mask?

It may be that the skin of the eyelids is severely dehydrated. After applying the patch to the eyes, the skin is irritated while it quickly replenishes moisture, resulting in a slight stinging sensation. It may also be that the drug ingredients in the eye patch or some chemicals cause allergies in the skin of the eyes, resulting in some stinging sensation.

Causes of stinging sensation when applying eye mask

1. Dehydration of the skin will cause tingling

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.

2. Skin allergies will cause tingling

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 hurts

1. 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 moisturizing eye cream. Apply eye mask regularly 2-3 times a week, and the stinging sensation will soon disappear.

2. 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.
