Is it normal to feel stinging when applying a cleansing mask?

It is normal to feel a tingling sensation after using some cleansing masks. Another reason is that your face is extremely dehydrated, so you feel a tingling sensation on your face when applying a cleansing mask. Cleansing masks have strong adsorption capacity, and it is normal to feel a little pain during the process.

Mild, one-time irritation is normal. Masks containing hydrating ingredients may cause a slight stinging sensation when used on a face that is extremely dehydrated. If you have ever been allergic to skin care products containing certain ingredients (such as hydroxyethyl esters), you should be more careful.

For those who have sensitive skin, you must do a local skin sensitivity test before using skin care products, and use them only after there is no irritation reaction after the test. After all, there are many reasons for skin sensitivity, and there is no brand of skin care products in the world that can guarantee 100% no allergy.

Why does it sting when I apply a cleansing mask?

1. Lack of water

This is caused by over-rapid hydration of the skin due to long-term dehydration. This situation occurs more frequently, and the tingling sensation will appear relatively quickly and disappear in a short time. When the skin is very dehydrated, if you use a very hydrating mask, the pores will suddenly shrink, causing the nerves to be affected and causing a tingling sensation for a while. In this case, you must add an extra hydrating step to the skin care products you usually use. This can improve the skin condition, and you should increase the frequency of using hydrating masks. Skin is like flowers. If you don’t water it for a long time, even if you water it more later, the water will not be absorbed well and the flower will easily die. So please treat your skin well, whether it is oily or dry, whether it is winter or summer, you should pay attention to replenishing skin moisture.

2. Allergies

In this case, the pain lasts for a long time and is accompanied by a burning sensation. In this case, please wash it immediately with clean water, then apply ice cubes through a towel to relieve pain and calm the skin. However, remember that the ice must be separated by a towel, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite. If the allergy is severe, please go to the hospital for treatment. In addition, students with sensitive skin must do a local skin sensitivity test before using skin care products, and use them only after there is no irritation reaction after the test. After all, there are many reasons for skin sensitivity, and there is no brand of skin care products in the world that can guarantee 100% no allergy. So if you have sensitive skin, it is better to choose and use skin care products with caution.
