Ow Ow Ow! Help! Reaction to hair removing cream on face.

[LynetteScavo]

So I have to admit to hair on upper lip (not a moustache thankyou!)

It's stinging.Lots. Should I use lemon juice? or vinegar or something???

milk.

the cream is acidic. the milk will counter that.
don't use lemon juice - it will make it 10 times worse.

not again. i am going to have to post a warning.

nothing. put nothing on it. you have removed top layer of skin. leave it alone.

Thankyou WannaBee. Thats feels better.

Please tell me my new red moustache will be gone by the morning.

No, don't use acid. It sounds like an allergic reaction to the active ingredient - did you do a patch test?

Wash it off, and steer clear of the creams in future.

If it was an allergic reaction you may find it's red and sore for a day or two - which is probably not what you wanted to hear! You may get a few spots too.

I've used it lots before.

Last week I had a reaction to stain remover at the hair dressers. I must be becomming sensitive.

WigWamBam - a day or two? Nooooooooooooooo!

I'll have to remember to wake up before DH to check!
