Many girls have had the experience of feeling very tight skin on their face after washing with facial cleanser, and individuals who are laughing, or have rich facial expressions, will feel as if their face is going to crack, with some pain. What is the cause of this?
Tightness caused by dry skin
Dry skin is less sebum secretion, washing face with cleanser will wash away most of the sebum, without the protection of sebum, the moisture of the skin will evaporate too quickly, the oil on the face can not be restored in a short time, so the skin on the face will produce a tight feeling, or because the skin is too dry and dry pain.
Facial cleanser alkaline too strong cause face tightness
A healthy skin surface has a sebum film made up of sebum and sweat, which can resist external stimuli brought about by miscellaneous bacteria and so on. The cell membrane of the epidermis has selective permeability, which can absorb useful substances from the outside world and block the entry of useless substances.
Many facial cleansing products on the market use synthetic detergents and even add large amounts of SLS or SLES surfactants (detergents) in order to meet the public demand for "clean" washing. These super-irritating surfactants are extremely alkaline and not only damage the sebum film, but also reduce the defense function of the skin surface.
The action of synthetic detergents on proteins reduces the enzymatic activity of proteins, which affects cellular respiration and impairs energy output. The decrease in energy production capacity can have a very significant impact on the physiological changes in the body.
The use of cleansers containing synthetic detergents will neutralize the weak acid film on the skin, so we will feel our face is tight and taut after washing, as if we have washed it clean, but in fact our skin has been damaged.
Not timely hydration after washing the face causes face tightness
After washing the face will be a lot of oil and water loss, is the most dehydrated skin, is also the best time for the skin to absorb water and nutrients, if not timely hydration face will feel very tight, and even produce a dry and painful feeling, in the pat on moisturizing water and lotion can be improved.
