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 finally got an unsightly mole on my face removed. While I was shaving. 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.

You completely deserve that for trying to use a kitchen leaner on your body. That may be comparable to using Windex to clean your contacts. As for 247, most facial soaps and products (exceptions possibly including "organic" ones, but those just come from more natural sources) use chemicals to do what they do, it's just a matter of choosing the right ones.

LOL you used a house hold cleaning product on your face? are you new?! I bet you exfoliate with Comet... for future reference, baby oil gets temp tats off easily. in a pinch, rubbing alcohol does too, it dries out your skin though so be sure to moisturize afterwards.

FYI suntan lotion or herbal essences shampoo will remove almost anything, but i think you should go see a doctor... not so much for the burn but to try to help you find a home health aid for your mental retardation....

I'm wondering how many idiots are going to read this and then try to rub one of those on their skin to see if its true or not.

YDI 100%. People like you are the reason everything needs warning labels these days, like those "Caution: Hot" warnings on coffee cups. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you shouldn't use household cleaning products on your skin.
