Hi guys,

So I've been really stupid and been using retinol on my skin for the last week and then waxed my upper lip last night. Didn't think I'd put the retinol on that area but must have been and forgot to be honest.
It immediately was sore afterwards even though I did the same waxing I usually do on this area, I knew something was wrong.
So I put aloe gel on it immediately and for the first few hours and then last night put ice on it for a bit which helped.
So this morning it's very red and large patches.
Would anyone have any advice of what I can do to stop it stabbing, really don't want scabs there...any positive helpful advice welcomed please.

Thankyou, won't be doing that again!
 
Poor you!! Maybe try sudocreme xx
 
Thanks guys, have put sudocream on and will leave it on all day and night and fingers crossed its not as obvious tomorrow as have a big day tomorrow and also hoping doesn't give me spots as cream is heavy! Bloomin nightmare!
xx
