Skin dry...can i scrub

[Saja]

The skin on my chin is very dry because i have been treating it with tea tree oil. It was very broken out, now its jst dry. How long should i wait before i do a scrub on the area to remove the dead skin. It just dryed out over night, is it too soon>??

is your skin peeling or flaking? did you have dry skin in that area before the tea tree oil treatment?

Its peeling and flaking. It wasnt dry before..its from overdoing the tea tree il...i had a big breakout there and got a little overzealous. I always use tea tree oil with no problem, but just went over board this time

be very gentle with the area until your skin has a chance to balance itself. i'd try hydrating the area before i'd try scrubbing. jmo! scrubbing to much could move you right back into a breakout!
