Shamban. “You can overdo astringents, because they can reduce the acid mantle and disrupt the pH balance, as well as induce more oil production due to over-drying, so monitoring usage and resulting skin effects is important.”
Is it bad to use astringent?
Astringents can be very drying for the skin. Avoid alcohol-based and chemical-based astringents if you have dry or sensitive skin. If you have acne and dry skin, an astringent may further irritate breakouts, leading to peeling and additional redness. Also, avoid alcohol-based astringents if you have eczema or rosacea.
When should I stop using astringent?
If redness or irritation occurs, stop using it immediately. Skin irritation can be a cause of a lot of things. The best way to go around this is to consult your trusted dermatologist. Do not apply astringent when you are already peeling.
