Why does my face sting when I apply lotion?

Skin dehydration When the seasons change, or when the skin has not been replenished with moisture for a long time, the skin will be dehydrated and dry, and small wounds will automatically appear on the face. These wounds are invisible and cannot be seen by the naked eye. At this time, if you apply skin care products, whether it is toner or lotion, there will be a slight tingling sensation on the face. This is because the skin is too dry. Lotions contain alcohol. Lotions with cleansing ability usually contain alcohol. There will be no problem with oily skin using alcohol-containing skin care products, but dry skin, sensitive skin, skin that is allergic to alcohol, or skin with red blood streaks will experience a stinging sensation on the face if using alcohol-containing skin care products.

What to do if your face stings when applying lotion

1. Strengthen skin hydration

For facial pain caused by skin dehydration, it is recommended to stop using lotion first and strengthen the hydration of the skin. You can usually use cotton pads to apply toner for 5-10 minutes, or apply a hydrating mask 2-3 times a week, and use hydrating essence and other products appropriately to help the skin improve the problem of dehydration and dryness.

2. Calm the skin

When the skin is stinging due to lotion allergy, it is recommended to stop using the lotion immediately, rinse the face with plenty of water to rinse off the lotion ingredients as much as possible, and then apply some skin care products with calming effects, such as aloe vera gel, cucumber gel, etc., to help the skin calm down as soon as possible.

3. Reselect lotion

If your skin feels a tingling sensation every time you use lotion, it means that this lotion is not suitable for your skin. It is recommended that you choose a new lotion. It is best not to use lotions containing alcohol on dry and sensitive skin, and use them less on oily skin. It is best to choose lotions with animal and plant essences to avoid skin irritation and allergies.
