I've been really stupid. I normally use Simple products as I have dry, sensitive skin. I've had a tough year so far (my Mum died early in the year and siblings have been horrific to deal with) and my skin is looking and feeling tired and stressed. I saw some stuff that looked the biz - Neutrogena hydro boost wash gel and garnier moisture bomb moisturisers and tissue mask, and treated myself.
First evening felt okay, but the morning after, my neck was bright red and itchy. I assumed I had heat rash and used the products again....I look sunburned. My entire face is bright red, my chin is covered in tiny white pimples that pop with a little pus (sorry) and wet stuff, it's sore, it's dry and it's oozing. My left eyelid is also puffy, although my right is fine, weirdly.
Obviously I'm having an allergic reaction and have stopped using the skin peelers immediately, but I'm left looking like a hormonal 15 year old. I'm nearly 50.
Any suggestions as to how to calm it down and soothe my skin, quickly? I'm using my simple stuff again and it's slowly helping, but I'm in agony here.
