i have been removing make up with muslin cloths 3 times a week, the rest of the days with cotton wool.

for the past week i have used the muslin every day and since i got up yesterday my cheeks are all stingy and red, one has little pinprick sized bumps under the skin too. i look like shit!

i also tried a new foundation, could it be that?

if i have exfoliated with the cloths too much will i be able to restore my skin to it's former glory? or am i damaged beyond repair?

muslin cloths are usually very gentle so it's more likely to be your foundation.
Be brave and go barefaced for the next couple of days.

they are liz earle cloths, feel a bit rough to me

My guess would be depending on how hard you scrubbed. You probably removed the outer layer of your dermis (epidermis). Your skin will regenerate, keep it moisturised and I would suggest one mean suncream factor 50 and above.

yes i think my skin must be sensitive. i tried that waitrose bum butter stuff and felt like i had been burnt next day!

going for a meal tomorrow too
