Why is my face suddenly so sensitive?

[goldangel]

The last couple of days my face has been stinging even without using my usual toner, serums routine just my moisturiser, does anyone know why and what I can do? Is it the cold weather, my lips have been dry? the stinging lasts a few minutes after I put on my moisturiser (same one I've been using for 20 odd years). Face isn't red or blotchy thank goodness, Google hasn't been much help.
Thanks.

I don't know how old you are, but it might be that you are starting the menopause. I had some quite drastic changes in my skin when I started my menopause, and I had to change or abandon certain skin care products that I had always used in the past.

I think it’s the cold weather - my skin has been dry/flaky and sensitive here and there. The colder weather just makes it a bit unpredictable. I would book in with your GP to see what they suggest though

This happened to my skin, I had to ditch all my Hirons type products and go back to basics. LRP Toleraine is a lovey moisturiser than didn't upset my skin. In fact my skin looks better now than when I was using all the acids and serums.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, very helpful.

I'm 46 hoping it's not the menopause and maybe just the weather :( argh!

Fwiw.. Thought I'd update as I've often found things useful when googling using mumsnet.

Well, I went to the pharmacy who suggested diprobase cream (yes the one dc use!) and omg my skin is much better, no more stinging.
Basically my skin was super dry & the diprobase has rehydrated my skin and it also feels & looks fresher, cost less than a fiver too!
