Irritated my skin help!

[blahblah900]

Today i had a lot of problems with my makeup so i had to keep cleansing my face over and over again. As a result, it is very irritated. One side of my face looks really red. It looks like a big bruise or something because i over washed my face real hard.

Anyone can recoomend what to use? is aloe vera gel the best option? Or should i use some honey? Now i can't go out because of this.

My best advice would be to just leave it alone and let it clear up on it's own. I think you made your skin angry by washing it so many times!

It looks like acne now. It's a very big spot taht is red. I had this before last time when i scrubbed it way too much. Does anyone know how long it takes to get back to normal? I think last time for me was like a week.

It would probably take another week then.

i wished i learned to stop overwashing. I said it last time that if if i cant apply my makeup okay, then i will just leave it on. EVerytime i keep overwashing my face, it goes super red on the side of my face and is irritated.

When will i ever learn?

well aloe vera shoudl help because thats what it does. somone on acne.org said use vaseline. I never put vaseline on my face before. Is that a good idea? By the way, the size of the redness on my face is about the size of a quarter

oh my god. Now that spot has turned pink. Argghh. I feel like so sad right now.

oh okay. What do i type in the search function then? I type irritated skin and get like a bunch of results though very few of them relate to it.

 

[magosienne]

redness? blisters ? i dunno, keep looking

my best advice would be not to touch it. i guess aloe vera could help, i've never used it before.

sorry...I hope it gets better for you

 

[blahblah900]

thanks a lot farris

Maybe it is the products you are using that are causing the irritation.

The constant washing or roughness only make the irritation worse.

 

[farris2]

no prob hon

 

[blahblah900]

eh. It's been looking pink for like 3 days. Is this some sort of name for this? I also irritated the same part like 2 months ago and it took like a week to heal.

You probably have something comparable to a rug burn.

Do you wash your face with cleanser and water, using you hands only?

Or do you use a wash clothe, sponge or loafah and really scrub at your face?

 

[speerrituall1]

Let your skin rest, less is more.

 

[yourleoqueen]

Try a cool compress. Not cold cuz that might irritate it more. Just lay a cool damp cloth on the side of your face that's irritated. HTH

i wash with purpose cleanser and water. I did it too harshly and did it probably 8 times because of me not getting my makeup correct.
