Why does it burn when dry skin finally gets moisturized?
In: Biology
It could mean that your skin is so dry that it has micro-abrasions from it splitting (like chapped hands in the winter) and when it does get moisturized it can sting a little, which happened to me while I was taking Accutane. This happens when you start using moisturizers for the first time every day. Don’t stop though, it should go away after a week or 2 of everyday moisturization, but if your skin remains red warm, and inflamed for a prolonged time after your moisturizer has dried or it breaks you out then I would switch products to something more gentle.
