Does stinging after applying eye cream mean lack of water?

For people who do not get a good rest at night, eye cream can quickly solve their image problems and quickly eliminate the dark circles around their eyes. Due to their profession, many girls may have higher requirements on their appearance, so these girls like to use eye cream, but some girls will experience side effects after using eye cream. So, what causes stinging after applying eye cream?

Reason 1: Skin allergy

If the skin around the eyes feels stinging after applying eye cream, it is likely a sign of skin allergy.

Skin allergies are not necessarily entirely a problem with the quality of eye cream, it is also related to personal skin type. If your skin is sensitive and not adapted to the ingredients of eye cream, after use, your skin will be irritated and stinging allergic symptoms will appear.

Reason 2: Skin dehydration

If your skin is dry, using eye cream may cause a stinging sensation.

This is because the most basic function of eye cream is to hydrate and moisturize. It is a skin care product that is high in water and nutrients. When the skin is in a dry and dehydrated state for a long time, it will be stimulated and produce a tingling sensation when it is suddenly injected with water.

In addition, when the skin is too dry, there will be some very small wounds on the surface that are invisible to the naked eye. In this case, using eye cream will irritate the skin and cause a stinging sensation.

Reason three: Eye cream problem

If you experience stinging pain around your eyes after applying eye cream, the problem may be with the eye cream itself. Nowadays, there are more and more skin care product brands, and they are becoming more and more diverse. Take eye cream for example. A bottle of good eye cream can cost thousands of yuan, while some eye creams only cost a dozen or twenty yuan. The price difference is so huge. In addition to brand factors, quality and ingredients also play a large role.

For some eye creams from unlicensed brands, it is impossible to determine whether they contain harmful ingredients. After use, the skin may be irritated and may cause allergic reactions such as stinging, redness, and swelling.

What to do if you feel stinging around your eyes after applying eye cream:

1. If it is the first time to apply eye cream, it is normal to feel a stinging sensation. Don't be overly nervous, the stinging sensation will disappear on its own.

2. If you feel stinging due to lack of water on your skin, don't be too nervous. Just increase the hydration of the skin around your eyes, apply eye cream in the morning and evening, and use eye masks and other eye care products regularly every week.

3. If the allergy is caused by skin texture or eye cream quality, it is recommended to stop using the eye cream immediately and switch to another brand of eye cream. It is obvious that this eye cream is not suitable for your skin, and forced use will only lead to greater allergy problems.
