Hi Geeks!! Im a student in Ethetics and I recently started to play with powder enhancemnts. Well I think I got a skin reaction ...On my Face!!!( Probly from filing the enhancements). Well Now I have a rash all over my face, any tips to clear it up faster?? Im applying aloe vera gel, and day and night cream and waqshing my face but it still looks aweful. Its drying it out now and getting dry and scally but im scared to exfoliate... What should I do????:cry:

You need to apply an emollient cream, aqueous cream would be fine hun. Personally i wouldnt exfoliate yet, i would definitely wait till it has cleared up. Hth x

Less is more. As above, definitely do not exfoliate as yet. A rich emollient cream such as E45 - definitely not perfumed facial moisturisers. Have you had this reaction before? You may need a prescriptive formula with hydrocortisone in.

I would suggest you pay a visit to your doctor.

I have serious contact dermatitis especially to perms.

I permed the other day and had forgotten my gloves and had to pre damp as her hair was long and thick, my hand did the usual thing itched then came out in blisters which weep, if I take a piriton it works wonders, if it happenes to you again give them a go
