Why does my face sting when I use makeup?

Generally speaking, after washing your face, you usually apply various skin care products. Skin care is a very important task in our daily life. Having young and beautiful skin is everyone's dream. However, when caring for the skin, you will use a lot of skin care products. Some people experience tingling on their faces when using skin care products. What is the reason for this symptom?

Why does my face sting when I use makeup?

1. Skin dehydration

When the bottom layer of your skin is too dry, it is easy for the skin to be unable to adapt to products with high hydrating effects or too much moisture all at once, and the skin will use a stinging reaction to tell you that it "can't adapt all at once."

If all the hydrating products you use, including facial masks, toners, lotions, creams, etc., cause a tingling sensation, but after using them for a while, your skin becomes more moisturized and you no longer experience this tingling sensation, then the tingling sensation is because your face is really too dehydrated.

Solution: To moisturize, use a hydrating mask or spray.

Second, a certain ingredient stimulates

Some skin may not be adapted to certain ingredients in certain products, which may cause stinging. For example, sensitive skin will not adapt to alcohol and acids, and certain active ingredients and preservatives can also cause stinging on the face. Which one it is depends on which ingredient your skin is not adapted to.

If everything works fine when you use other products, but you feel a stinging sensation on your face as soon as you use skin care products containing irritating ingredients, and no matter how many moisturizing products you use, your face will hurt as soon as you use it, and no matter how long you use it, it will sting every time you use it, then it can only tell you that products containing these ingredients are not suitable for you.

Solution: Find out which ingredients your skin is intolerant to, and choose skin care products that do not contain these ingredients when purchasing.

3. Sensitivity caused by temperature difference

This sensitivity is not what we often call sensitive skin, but the skin reacts more violently to external stimuli, especially in summer. Many girls will apply iced facial mask directly on their faces when they go indoors due to the high temperature outside. It sounds cool, but the skin often feels stinging and redness after being strongly stimulated.

In winter, when you go from the cold outdoors to a very warm indoor room, especially when the heating is turned on in the north, the indoor temperature is dry and stuffy. The skin feels hot, causing the capillaries to dilate and the face to turn red. When you use skin care products, it is easy to feel stinging.

Solution: Try to avoid hot and cold.

4. Damage to the skin barrier

When our skin barrier is damaged, cells shrink, lipids between cells are lost, and the gaps become larger, wounds invisible to the naked eye will form.

Damage to the skin barrier is mostly self-inflicted, such as over-cleansing, excessive application of facial masks, excessive acid exfoliation, and constant exposure to the sun without sun protection. These will damage the skin barrier, reduce the sebum and intercellular lipids that protect the skin, prevent the keratin from being completely shed and renewed, and cause the loss of natural moisturizing factors. The skin's self-moisturizing ability is greatly reduced, the ability to lock in moisture is poor, and the skin tolerance is also poor. Therefore, you will feel stinging pain no matter what you use.

Solution: Use repair products to repair damaged skin barrier.

5. Sensitive skin

The stratum corneum of sensitive skin is very thin, and it will sting and turn red when it encounters irritation, such as applying more irritating skin care products, being blown by cold wind, etc. This type of skin needs to use skin care products specially designed for sensitive skin and take good care of it, otherwise it will gradually deteriorate and the skin will become more and more sensitive and difficult to care for. We recommend Duojianong's repair set, which is a care product specially designed for sensitive skin.

6. Product deterioration

Once a product deteriorates, it is no longer suitable for skin contact. At this time, you must decisively change the skin care products and discard the deteriorated ones in time. Don't continue using it just to save money and harm your skin.

In short, if your face feels stinging as soon as you use skin care products, there must be a reason. Only by finding out the cause can we find a solution.
