why does my skin burn when i put on moisturizer
Hey Rainbow friends, I have this weird issue. I love taking care of my skin, but whenever I apply moisturizer, my skin burns. What's happening?
Hi there! I feel you, skin issues can be annoying. It might be because the moisturizer you're using contains ingredients that your skin is sensitive to, or it could be that your skin is already irritated and the moisturizer is exacerbating it.
But my moisturizer is for sensitive skin and it's fragrance-free, and it didn't give me any problems before. Could there be any other reason?
Hmm. It could be possible that you have developed a sensitivity or allergy to one or more of the ingredients in the moisturizer, even if you've used it without issues in the past! However, if your skin is dry or compromised, essentially 'broken', it could allow ingredients to penetrate deeper, causing a stinging sensation.
That makes sense. My skin has been really dry lately and I possibly might have over-exfoliated. What can I do to help this situation?
I'm not a dermatologist, but maybe you could try switching to a simpler product with fewer ingredients. Also, giving your skin a break from exfoliation and active skincare products might help. However, if the problem persists, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional or a dermatologist for further advice.
