Is Squeaky Skin Bothering You? Here’s How to Fix It

Have you ever washed your face and felt like your skin was squeaky and tight? Maybe you’re thinking it’s a sign your cleanser is working, removing all the dirt and bacteria from your face. But the truth is that tight, squeaky-feeling skin is never a good thing. We’re going over everything you need to know about squeaky skin so you can get your skin back to where it needs to be.

But First, What is Squeaky Skin?

Like all problems, fixing squeaky skin comes with understanding it. Sometimes we get a bit too excited with skincare products and end up using something too harsh for our skin. This disrupts the skin barrier and prevents your skin from maintaining natural moisture levels, leaving you with dehydrated skin. Not only does dehydrated skin feel uncomfortable, but it also causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear deeper. No, thank you!

What Causes It?

We know harsh products can cause squeaky skin, but how do you know which one? Usually, the culprit is a cleanser that‘s too much for your skin and ended up stripping away the natural oils in your face. If you wash your face and your skin feels tight, it’s time to try a gentler face wash. However, sometimes squeaky skin comes from overusing certain products. For example, exfoliants are great for buffing away dead skin, but too much of it can damage your skin instead. In the end, skincare is about balancing natural skin function versus products that enhance your skin. Squeaky skin is a sign that your balance is off, and your skincare routine needs some tweaking.
