Waxed skin off upper lip!!!

[mamahoo]

Help!!!

I waxed my own moustache last night and it's taken the skin off 🙈🙈🙈.

What am I supposed to do with it?
What should I apply to it and how long am I going to look horrendous for?

Thanks!!

Are you currently on roaccutane or just have really dry skin? I did this above and below my eyebrows when I had an eyebrow wax against dermatologist advice back when on roaccutane!
It looked really not great that first afternoon/evening, but on the morning after while it was still puffy and sore the skin wasn't 'wet' and I was able to lightly apply makeup (client meetings that I'd travelled to another city for...). After probably 3 days it's healed up enough that makeup covered it just fine, was just that slightly harder skin you get when healing for a period that eventually came off.
Hope you feel better soon!!

Sudocreme is your friend, it should help it heal without going scabby, depending how much skin you actually took off!

Thank you both!!

@MoreCoffeePlease2 I'm an absolute idiot! I've been using Hydroquinone cream on my moustache area to get rid of hyperpigmentation there. It says on it not to wax etc with it, but I thought I would be alright!! Lesson learned 🙈.

@JustGiveMeGin I will be putting sudocrem on all day!! Thank god I can work from home!!!
