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 girls who love beauty have to do every day. Since there are too many skin care brands on the market, you should pay attention to choosing the ones that suit you when choosing skin care products, otherwise it is likely to be counterproductive. So what is the reason why skin care products cause a tingling sensation? What should I do if I feel a tingling sensation after using skin care products?

Why do skin care products cause stinging sensations?

1. The skin is severely dehydrated. If the skin is dehydrated, it will feel tight and itchy. In severe cases, peeling, stinging, etc. may occur. 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, or stinging, when using skin care products. However, this feeling will disappear soon, so there is no need to worry too much.

2. Some ingredients in skin care products are irritating. For people with sensitive skin or people with wounds on their faces, try not to choose skin care products containing 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 be used with caution, and products with a lot of added 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 can easily feel uncomfortable when it comes into contact with certain ingredients for the first time, and therefore it can easily cause a tingling sensation. Therefore, when using new products, you must pay attention to controlling the frequency and amount of use to allow the skin to adapt.

4. Quality issues 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 a few dozen yuan to thousands of yuan. It is recommended that you do not use skin care products that are too cheap or even those from no-brand names. This type of skin care products can easily irritate the skin and cause skin allergies.

What to do if skin care products cause stinging sensation

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 is accompanied by other adverse conditions, the skin surface should be cleaned as soon as possible. At the same time, the cause of the tingling sensation should be determined and appropriate measures should be taken. Normally, no matter what the cause, the stinging sensation doesn't last long. There are two reasons why a tingling sensation may occur after using skin care products. On the one hand, it may be due to skin allergies caused by the skin care products. On the other hand, it may be due to excessive hydration, which the skin cannot bear for a while. In either case, the stinging sensation will be over within a minute.

How to choose the right skin care products for yourself

Before choosing skin care products, we must fully understand the characteristics of our own skin and know what we want so that we can make accurate choices and avoid minefields. Skin types are generally divided into 5 types: oily, neutral, dry, combination, and sensitive. Oily skin: large pores, abundant oil secretion, and prone to acne; (Skin care focus: oil control + moisturizing + acne removal). Dry skin: The pores are relatively small, the skin is dry and tight, it may peel sometimes, and fine lines will be more obvious; (Skin care focus: hydration + strong moisturizing). Neutral skin: the best skin condition, neither oily nor dry, no acne, no allergies; (skin care focus: daily hydration is enough to maintain it). Combination skin: imbalance of oil and water, the T-zone of the face is oily, while the cheeks are very dry; (skin care focus: zone skin care). Sensitive skin: thin stratum corneum, prone to redness, swelling and allergies. (Skin care focus: streamlined skin care).

How to test skin care products for allergies

Test behind the ear: the skin behind the ear is more sensitive and closer to the facial skin. Therefore, many people choose to do allergy testing behind the ear. Apply a small amount of the product behind the ear for more than one hour and observe the skin condition behind the ear. If no abnormality occurs, you can use it normally. For the inner arm test, soak a clean gauze with distilled water or saline, wring it until semi-dry and fold it into a suitable size. Apply the product on it and apply it to the inner arm. Cover it with plastic film and secure it with tape. If there is no problem after 48 hours, generally speaking, allergies will not occur with normal use.
