Skin care tips | Why does my face hurt when hydrating?

The skin itself is composed of layers of cells side by side, which is not without gaps. When the skin is short of water, the cells shrink, and the lipids between cells are lost, the gaps will become larger and become small wounds invisible to the naked eye.

Therefore, taking care and applying a mask will itch and tingle. You think you may be allergic, and you mistakenly think that the product is not suitable for you. In fact, this is a reminder that your facial skin is too dehydrated!

When the bottom layer of your skin is too dry, it is easy for your skin to be unsuitable at once when it is exposed to products with high hydrating effect or too moisturizing. So the skin will tell you with a tingling reaction that it "can't adapt at once".

Judgment method: If all the hydrating products you use, including masks, toners, creams, etc., have a tingling sensation, but your skin becomes much moisturized after using them for a period of time, and there will be no such tingling sensation, then your tingling sensation is because your face is really too dry.

Some skin will be uncomfortable with some ingredients in some products, resulting in a tingling phenomenon. For example, sensitive muscles will be unsuitable for alcohol and acids, and some active substances and preservatives will also cause facial tingling.

Judgment method: Everything is normal with other products, but there will be a tingling sensation on your face when you use it. No matter how many hydrating products you use, it will hurt on your face as soon as you use it, and no matter how long you use it, if it hurts every time you use it, it can only tell you that that product is not suitable for you.

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

Damage to the skin barrier is mostly caused by incorrect skin care. Excessive cleaning, excessive application of mask, excessive acid brushing, always exposure to the sun without sunscreen, etc. will damage the skin barrier, so you will feel tingling in everything you use!

In this case, repairing the skin barrier is the key. In skin care, we should pay attention to correcting the wrong skin care methods, taking care of the skin scientifically, and choosing those skin care products with soothing and gentle repair effects to promote repair.
