Skincare routing

By Tomatoe Face - 22/04/2014 05:31 - United States - Antioch

Today, I used a facial mask for super sensitive skin, recommended by several friends with similar skin issues. Apparently, when the warning says, "May cause some slight redness for thirty minutes", it really means, "Your face will have hives and swell to twice its normal size for several hours." FML

I used to use skin creams for acne and sensitive skin. I found it made my face worse.

Some people with sensitive skin can find those "natural" ingredients worse than the chemicals that are supposed to be bad. I do sometimes. But I also know if you have sensitive skin and are trying a new product, you ALWAYS DO A PATCH TEST. OP learn from this. I test near my elbow, then on a small section of face if unsure. Slathering it on your face is asking for trouble!

Because 26 is TOTALLY from America. His username and requesting an American tour guide is a sign that hes American. *sarcasm*

33-- what?! I know they are from New Zealand, hence the sarcasm part. They were responding to everyone pointing out tomato is spelled wrong, hence the 'American English being the only right English' joke. It was probably a lame joke, but you don't have to be such a bitch about it.

Tomato is spelled wrong in OP's name regardless of the dialect of English he or she is using. Unless it's the Dan Quayle version of English. In that case, I suppose it would be correct :)

You may just be allergic to it. I wouldn't jump to conclusions about the product, try to in out what's in it that made you swell so it won't happen again.

On the upside, the swelling makes any wrinkles go away.

This is why most things like this say you should check for a reaction prior to use.

If it warned you that it may cause slight redness, it probably warned you to do a skin patch test too OP!

I'm willing to bet the warning lable also said to do a test patch. Since the damage is done get some cortisone cram and Benadryl. The Dr can prescribe some cream that will help with the swelling and pain. I have been there and done that and it sucks. Hope you feel better soon OP.
