Hi, Please Stop Using Skincare Products That"Kinda, Sorta Sting"Here’s a phrase I hear from every single one of my friends as they describe their skincare products: “Yeah, I like it! I mean, it kinda stings and tingles, but I think it’s in a good way?” And then I promptly burst into a fiery ball of hell, screaming “NOOOoooo” as I disappear into the ether.
But, fun little fact, that notion is completely, totally, 100 percent wrong. Your skincare products should feel like nothing. Actual nothingness. “If you’re feeling a sensation from whatever you just applied to your face, it means you’re disrupting your skin barrier,” says Mona Gohara, MD, dermatologist at Yale University.
“People think something has to have a ‘feeling’ to it, or it’s not working, but what you’re feeling is your skin’s SOS signal asking for help,” says Dr. Gohara. And that SOS signal is often as innocuous as a tight, squeaky-clean feeling after washing your face, which is actually the hallmark symptom of a messed-up skin barrier.
