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

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.

How do people like you survive? I mean seriously. How did you think that was going to turn out? A mentally challenged 8 year old could tell you that that was a stupid idea. You totally deserve it..... I'm pretty sure it even says on the package to avoid contact with skin.

Anytime you put a chemical on your body, always test it first!! Next time try some baby oil.

First off, I do understand how you could not smell it; the magic erasers don't smell. YDI, though, because seriously, it's clearly marked as a household cleaning product. I don't think I really believe that this happened though, because I use magic erasers all the time to clean my tub (only thing that works on that surface, piece of junk) and it NEVER burns my hands. Either this is a lie, or you went at your own face for a VERY long time.

HAHAHA, I don't even know you but i love your life! Couple years ago while at school a pen had exploded in my pocket so when I came home I asked my mom what would get it off, because likewise soap was not working.... she then told me to use the magic eraser aswell, and when i came out of the bathroom from scrubbing etc i ended up with a huge rash/burn for about 3 weeks. Deff, go and ask your doctor what to put on it! Good Luck!
