Ok, I did something bad to my face. I was trying to make face look pretty and I had a reaction. It was day before yesterday, my face first turned all red like a tomato and I had thay burning sensation all night but then yesterday it was all fine so I thought all is well. But today there are tiny scars on the side of my face and lot of dryness like it feels skin is maybe peeling off. I have an event to attend tomorrow at school and I don’t want to look ugly. So I need any desi totka that can help me with this dryness thing. I am using L’Oreal moisturizer but I still see the peeling of the skin thing. ![]()
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
What did u do to ur face? You didn't bleach it did u?
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
is your skin like really really dry? like it feels dry to the touch?
use a fine scrub to help get rid of the dead skin cells. it sounds like your skin kinda got burned and that's wat the dryness is. use something like vitamin e oil at night. it's a really deep moisturizer, and helps heal the skin as well. and get a moisturizer like cetaphil to use in the morning. keeping scrubbing your face every 2-3 days to keep the skin churn out new skin cells, and use the vitE oil every night until you feel like the skin's really improved a lot.
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
Well I can feel the dryness when I touch my face and look in the mirror, so yeah I guess it is kind of really dry....
The store brought scrubs normally don't suit me, I have kind of a sensitive skin, is there any home remedy or what will be a good quality scrub?
I will use the vit E oil. Thanks khumi!
MkD: No, I didn't bleech my face...
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
use besan. lol the simplest and finest scrub u can use. if u want u can add like a few drops of whole milk. the fat in it will help. some people say add honey to it but i found that honey made my skin breakout in this tiny rash or something, and i've got sorta sensitive skin too, so i wouldn't recommend that on your face.
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
Ummm... If u have sensitive skin you should go see a dermatologist. Don't take any risks or dont even experiment with ur face.
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
I say dont scrub your skin yet, just use a heavy duty moisturiser or vit e oil.
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
hmm... ok I guess I will stick to vitE for now and then maybe use besan scrub on weekend...lol
Thank you guys!
MKD: I know dermatologist will only suggest an off the counter ointment, there is no use of wasting money on a dermatologist. :(
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
lusi, i don't know if it's too late to tell u this, but before ur function, use some good moisturizer liberally on ur face. it will blend the peeling skin with the non-peeling one, and ur skin won't look like it's peeling. then u can use a little water based foundation to cover it all.
my friend had a chemical peel and her skin was peeling and she had to go to work, so she used this trick and u couldn't even tell if there was something wrong with her skin.
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
^hmmmm, wouldn't the peeling skin still stick out?
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
dont irritate further by scrubbing. use a good moisturizer like organic shea butter which is really emollient..ditto on the vit E ...besan can irrirate skin...drink lots of water. also aloe vera juice...if u can get some pure aloe vera juice from the drugstore and blend in with a vitamin capsule and spray on your face all day it will help inflammation
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
yeah do not use scrub or besan use gulab ka arq extensively and u can massage ur face with a lil malai..gulab ka arq n very lil olive oil
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
I use an antibiotic ointment..if and when such a thing happens. Bactroban
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
^hmmmm, wouldn't the peeling skin still stick out?
it didn't for my friend, and trust me, her skin was peeling bad
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
hi khuma,u r suggesting vit E oil but once i heard dat it produces white spots on skin???is it true?i used to apply vitE oil from body shop but wen i heard abut it i stopped using it.
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
Its peeling because the skin got burnt by whatever you did to it.
The dryness is due to the top layer burnt which will then peel.
Dont damage it more by putting random stuff on it, you might make it worse.
If you have an antibiotic cream, use it, if you dont then probably wash your face with oatmeal.
Dont scrub it you'll end up with wrinkles.
And if you are going to use oatmeal use powdered one add water to it to make a paste and wash the face with it. Dont use soap.
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
Lusi, read my pm!!!
Re: Urgent Help!!!!
Hi guys, thank you for all the suggestions. I applied VitE cream twice last night and now my face is way better. VitE cream has some magic, my skin is more on the smoother side now. I think I will just continue with it at the moment, it seems very effective.
I am thinking of not applying any make up tonight, I think I will just keep my face moisturized. :)
