What is a common cause of skin irritation from hot tools?

A common cause of skin irritation from hot tools is overheating the tool or having prolonged contact with the skin. Hot tools, such as curling irons or straighteners, are designed to reach high temperatures for effective styling. When these tools exceed safe temperature limits or are left on the skin for an extended period, they can cause burns or damage the skin's surface, leading to irritation and discomfort.

It's important to monitor the temperature of styling tools and ensure that they are used within a safe range. Additionally, minimizing contact time with the skin helps prevent adverse reactions. Being aware of the heat levels and using tools correctly can significantly reduce the risk of skin irritation associated with thermal styling techniques.
