Health, Awkward, Make up and Skincare: Burn!

Burn!

By morningeyes - 19/05/2009 14:19 - United States

Today, I was trying to remove a temporary tattoo my friend put on my cheek. When warm water and soap didn't work, I tried something else. Just so you know, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers do not, in fact, work by magic. Tell that to the massive chemical burn covering half my face. FML

Today, my friend convinced me that a staple gun doesn't work on skin. I decided to put this new piece of information to the test. FML

Routine maintenance

Today, and for the past few days, my skin has been all blotchy and messed up so I tried a new face mask that was supposed to peel off easily. It ended up sticking to my skin like glue. I spent hours in front of the mirror trying to peel it off, one painful sliver at a time. FML

Skincare routine

Today, I found a DIY beauty hack online, so as I had nothing better to do and my skin is a mess, I gave it a try. I mixed lemon juice with sugar to exfoliate my face. Little did I know, I had a tiny cut on my cheek. The lemon juice made it feel like my face was on fire. FML

Today, I not only absent-mindedly tried to scrub the natural suntan from my arm, I also spent several long seconds wondering why it wouldn't come free. FML

What's your morning routine?

Today, I tried a DIY face mask that involved using turmeric spice. After keeping it on for 20 minutes, I tried washing it off, but I couldn't get rid of the orange residue it had left behind. Guess who's going to work tomorrow looking like an Oompa Loompa. FML

Today, I thought I could make my own skincare products from scratch, but I ended up with a weird, greasy concoction, which left a red mark on my hands. It's been two hours and the mark is still there, despite several washes. FML

Today, I realized that that tingly feeling on my face when I put a new combination of acne wash, acne medication, and my usual moisturizer on was not, in fact, "it working." It was slowly peeling away the top layer of skin. I look and feel sunburned. I also still have acne and oily skin. FML

Today, I had to be treated for chemical burns, because my mother got the bright idea of using paint thinner to clean me up after I'd painted our living room. FML

Smart. Not the best idea, now is it? Magic erasers are not for bodies.

I'm sure everyone has already mentioned this but... You had a temporary tattoo on your cheek? And your excuse is that your friend did it, right? Well I can only see this working if you were drunk. YDI anyways for thinking that the mr. whatever magic eraser THAT HAS ALL KINDS OF CHEMICALS USED TO CLEAN OTHER THINGS would work on your face. Sorry :)

It's probably just scratching from the abrasive, rather than a chemical burn http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/eraser.asp

So when I was holding my magic eraser the other day to clean the walls, my hand should have burned off? Because I'm pretty sure nothing happened to my hand at all, or anyone who has come in contact with a magic eraser

theres no way that a magic eraser could cause a massive chemical burn on your face. if that was so, the line would be discontinued and many lawsuits would follow. your face is probably a little red or you have a minor rash, but you thought that it would be funny to exaggerate and put it on fml and people would think you were a badass. wrong, ************

Let's give this man/woman an award. "Proving Darwin Wrong". Or "Biggest Retard of the Year". I'm guessing you haven't even seen it before? Let alone see what it can do or anything and you can't read warning signs? How idiotic do you have to be to do something like that? YFDI.
