Redness, Stinging, Flaking: When It’s Normal Dryness vs a Skincare Reaction
If your face suddenly feels tight, looks red, stings when you apply products, or starts flaking, your first thought is usually, “What did I do wrong?” Sometimes it’s genuinely normal dryness (especially if you’ve changed seasons, started a new active, or spent a weekend in the sun).
