But why do I sometimes feel a tingling sensation on my face when applying a facial mask? Is it a skin allergy or is the mask not suitable for my skin type? Do I need to wash my face after applying a facial mask? We’ll find out right away.

Why does my face sting when I put on a mask?

1. The face is not clean

This does not mean that the makeup is not removed thoroughly, but the cleansing products that remain in the corners of the face after cleansing or the shampoo products that splash onto the face after bathing. If these products are not washed off the face, they will cause a stinging sensation during subsequent skin care.

2. Skin is extremely dehydrated

If you feel a tingling sensation when applying a facial mask, one of the first reasons you should consider is that your face is extremely dehydrated. At this time, the facial skin is dry, tight, and even peeling, especially for sensitive skin. Therefore, you must apply a layer of toner before applying the mask, which can not only moisturize the skin, but also make the subsequent mask fit better. If you have sensitive skin, it is best to do some tests before applying the mask to prevent allergies.

3. The mask is not suitable for your skin type

Sometimes you may feel a tingling sensation after applying a facial mask, or even local redness. This is actually because the mask is not suitable for your skin type, or your skin's tolerance is relatively poor at this time. Therefore, it is best to use some soothing products to protect the skin at this time and stop using those functional products and masks.

4. Sensitivity caused by temperature difference

In summer, many girls choose to put their facial masks in the refrigerator, and then have an iced slice at night. It sounds great, right? But in fact, this behavior can also cause skin sensitivity! Your red blood streaks may be caused by this situation. If you feel a tingling sensation on your face at this time, don't think it is hydrating.

Do I need to wash my face after applying a facial mask?

Different facial masks have different usage methods, so regarding the question of whether or not to wash your face after applying the mask, we need to conduct a specific analysis of various masks.

1. Patches

A patch mask is like a shot of adrenaline, which quickly makes your skin hydrated and tender. It is the most commonly used and best-use mask now. Often a mask contains about 25 ml of lotion essence. After use, gently massage until the remaining lotion on your face is absorbed. At this time, your face already has a thin protective layer, which you do not need to wash off and can proceed with subsequent maintenance procedures. However, you can actually decide based on your skin condition. For oily skin, it is recommended to wash it with clean water, and then apply toner and refreshing lotion or cream.

2. Wash-free sleeping mask

This is a sleeping mask, so of course you don’t need to wash it off. But remember, do not apply it too thickly, otherwise the skin will be overwhelmed, blood circulation will be poor, and the skin will become darker. If you are worried about the sleeping mask rubbing onto your clothes or pillow, you can gently press it with a single layer of cotton pad to remove the excess. Please note that the sleeping mask does not need to be washed only during a certain period of time, not that you do not need to wash it at all. It is best to clean the facial mask within 6 to 8 hours before going to bed to avoid blocking the skin's normal breathing and metabolism. So after a night, you should still wash your face and then apply daily moisturizing products.

3. Jelly mask

Jelly masks are generally called wash-off masks. This mask will feel a bit sticky on the face after it dries, which is very uncomfortable. So you still have to wash it. Also, most liquid masks are gel-type, which can repair our skin at night. In order for this type of smear-type mask to work best, it must be applied in a thick layer, and the highest standard is that the original skin color cannot be seen.

4. Peel off the mask

Peel-off masks are generally used to remove blackheads. After cleansing before applying the mask, steam your face with hot water, or apply a hot towel to the tip of your nose, and then apply the mask. This can open the pores, making it easier to remove fat blackheads deep inside the pores. This mask must be washed off, and after washing, you should use a toner that shrinks pores.

Dear beauty-loving friends, remember, only by using facial masks correctly can you make your skin better.
