NO!
And if someone is telling you to just push through it. RUN!
But in all seriousness. There should be no discomfort. This post is more about using common sense than telling you what or what not to use on your skin.
Your skin knows what it needs and it does not. And it comes with its own warning system. Like the burning sensation followed by inflammation, redness and all the other wonderful symptoms we all know too well.
Those receptors involved for telling you when products might be harming your skin are called nociceptors.
So what does it mean when your skin is having a reaction to products?!
It can mean different things for different people that all have different skin types. just like every single one of us does. We all have unique complexions that will react differently to the same product and ingredients.
If your skin is burning or stinging it can be a sign that you are allergic to a certain ingredient in the product. But it can also mean that you are using these products too often. And it can mean you are having an allergic reaction. And sometimes it can just be normal if you are receiving treatments at a doctors office.
What we have found in our extensive research is that it is no longer acceptable or required for you to go through the skincare burn means its working phase.
For far too long this myth has wreaked havoc on many unsuspecting souls. It's time to change that. We can no longer accept that the burn is required.
The discomfort we go through can be causing damage to our skin barrier and deeper layers can leave us suffering worse that the dry skin we wanted to combat.
It is no longer acceptable to suffer for beauty. Beauty is not pain! There is no such thing as no pain no gain. Not anymore. Let's leave discomfort behind.
Sure those beliefs got us by years ago. but with the new advances in both information available and advances in recognizing ingredients better suited for you we no longer need to suffer to have supple and luxurious skin.
In the end. The things to remember are that skin and body care cannot and should not be painful or cause any discomfort. Burning and stinging is your body's natural alarm and warning system. It is telling you to stop and asses.
