Face bright red after using face wipe

[holidayseeker]

I brought some good young things face wipes for dd to try but first decided to use one myself. This was about ten minutes ago and I am now sat here with a bright red burning face.

I have rinsed with water but I still look like a tomato and it's really stinging what can I do?

Keep rinsing. What is in those things?
Bloody wipes.

What shouldn't you use again?!

Not sure there's much you can do, other than wait for things to calm down. Now you've had a reaction, there's a possibility anything else could just aggravate it more.
Hopefully someone will turn up with useful suggestions!

As an aside - why were you buying face wipes for your DD? I have sensitive skin, and wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Looks like you might have just discovered you're sensitive, too - good reason to assume your DD might be.

These are the wipes

Thanks I'll keep rinsing.

God - ouch! plain water is the best thing to use for your dd. Maybe some Simple cleanser.

I brought them for dd as a quick way to wipe her face when she's not going to wash it properly and I had read this company were good for young skin.

They are in the bin now.

I have sensitive skin and find that Superdrug fragrance-free wipes are really good and non-irritating.

Cocktail not sure why you're recommending Simple - it's awful for sensitive skin. Boots' own brand Simple-style range is much better, or their Essentials Fragrance Free range.

Simple is too harsh for my dd. She likes Amie products (Boots & Waitrose/John Lewis).

My skin reacts to many products and wipes and ends up sore and burning, then very dry and back to normal after 4/5 days. The best cure I've found is a combination of sudocreme and Vaseline mixed together and smeared on. It might make you look like a greasy ghost but it works wonders for me.

Thanks for the tips. This morning it's not burning but my forehead feels really rough and dry.

Tommy, I didn't like to mention it, but my go-to treatment for sore red skin is Vaseline! Not tried Sudocrem, but it gave the DCs sore bums which Vas didn't, so I stick to that.

I find it doesn't try to 'do' anything ti the skin, just forms a barrier while it sorts itself out.
