Why Does My Moisturizer Sting? What Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You

A stinging moisturizer is your skin sending a clear signal that something in your current routine needs attention.

Q: Why does my moisturizer sting my skin?

A: Stinging from moisturizer often indicates a compromised skin barrier or sensitivity to an ingredient like fragrance or alcohol. Switching to a gentle, barrier-repairing formula and consulting your esthetician can help resolve the irritation.
