What do I do to help my face?

[Teenagegirl123]

I use a face wash called Clinique. Last night I washed my face and got a burning sensation. I usually get this every time I use it and I’ve been using it for at least a year now.

The next morning (today) I woke up and my face was still red and burning. I went on and did my makeup getting ready for school. I only use mascara, I contour my jawline, cheekbones and nose, I use highlighter, and i only put concealer under my eyes and on a few pimples.

It was only when I went to the upstairs bathroom that I noticed the red. It was burning and I started to panic. I put an all natural lotion on it but, it started to burn more. I woke my mom up and she was very mad and covered it with her powder foundation. The burning intensified and it began to itch. I do not know what to do or why this is happening.

You have just become too sensitive to the product. It's causing a dermal mast cell reaction. You're probably reacting to chemicals in it. This may mean you've started to become chemically sensitive or you could just have become sensitized to some particular chemicals in it.

One obvious reason that chemical sensitivities occur is due to exposure to mold, bacteria, virus, all of which cohabitate together. Do you have any visible signs of mold in your home?

Whether mold is the trigger or not, avoidance is your only answer. Don't use the product again. You could try Josie Maran whipped argan butter, it's quite a kind product. Or try something else with less nasty ingredients.
