Does the stinging sensation caused by eye mask mean that the eye skin is dehydrated? What should I do if my eye skin is dehydrated?

Usually after applying the eye mask, the skin around the eyes will feel very comfortable, but sometimes there is a stinging pain in the skin around the eyes. What's going on? Does the stinging sensation when applying eye mask mean lack of water?

Does the stinging pain caused by eye mask mean lack of water?

may be. Applying eye mask to dehydrated skin will indeed cause a stinging sensation. Eye mask is an emergency product that can quickly inject moisture into the skin in a short period of time. However, the skin around the eyes is weak and easily dehydrated. When the skin around the eyes is in a state of extreme dehydration, it is suddenly injected with a large amount of water, and the cells are stimulated and produce a slight tingling sensation.

What to do if the skin around your eyes is dehydrated

If the stinging is caused by lack of water on the skin, then you just need to increase the moisture of the skin. If you moisturize your skin properly, the stinging sensation will disappear soon.

1. Choose the right eye care products

Currently on the market there are many kinds of eye care products including eye cream, eye gel, and eye essence. Eye cream is highly moisturizing and nourishing, and is suitable for people with wrinkles around their eyes. Generally, essence is used first, and then eye cream or eye gel. A mung bean-sized amount is sufficient. It is best to apply hot compress first and then apply, and combine with massage and acupressure for better results.

2. Eye mask care

Apply 1-2 times a week to provide special nourishment and relaxation to the eyes. You can use collagen eye mask for care, or you can make your own eye mask (mash carrots or cucumbers, extract juice, add 4-6 drops of vitamin E oil and mix well).

Skin allergies will cause stinging sensation when applying eye mask

In addition to dehydration, a stinging sensation on the skin after using the eye mask may also be a manifestation of skin allergies. There are two reasons for skin allergies. One is that the skin itself is relatively 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 ingredients or may just be unsuitable for your skin.

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.

Tips

The skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive and weak, prone to dehydration and wrinkles. Therefore, we must give the most caring care to the skin around the eyes. It is best to use eye masks regularly 2-3 times a week, and do not buy cheap eye masks. Cheap eye masks have low production costs and no obvious skin care effects. Too cheap eye masks may even contain certain harmful ingredients. Long-term use will cause greater damage to the skin around the eyes.
