Aaargh I used a face mask and it made my face go red, what should I do?

It was one of those fabric ones with spearmint and tea tree, I'm not normally allergic but after a few mins it stung, so I took it off and washed my face and now I'm red as a tomato! I've gotta go to a relatives 2moro to exchange Xmas presents so any tips? I'm putting ice on it to relieve the stinging and put some aloe vera lotion (which is good for sunburn) on it but it made it sting more so I wiped it off, help me please!!!

take some ibuprofen (or other anti-infammotory) put nothing on your face except cool unscented cream .. go to bed, good nights rest.... go to bed... n hope for the best ! ! ! good luck. reckon you'll be fine in the morning......
Reply:You are probably allergic to some of the huge number of additives they pour into these products. I don't know why pharmaceutical companies think the clean natural smell of Tea Tree needs 'improving' with mint. Tea Tree itself has great healing properties, but I expect the spearmint was a concoction made from chemicals.



I found a doctors Q%26amp;A about a face mask causing problems, and provide the link below.
Reply:Get some Eucerin Aphaphor from the Grocery Store or Drug Store and apply it over night - that stuff heals anything.
Reply:obviously its not a good scrub for you! all i can say is splash cold water on your face, and moisturize with a fragrence-less lotion and wait till it goes away, it will. and remember to NEVER use that mask again (:
Reply:it should be back to normal in the morning

but ive had a problem once where my face stayed red for 3 days

try puttin lots of moisturiser on because it's cold on ur skin.

There's not much else you can do to be honest though

but i wouldn't use that face mask again lol



Merry Christmas :-)

Reply:Lots of water....cool-luke warm, pat dry with doft towel. Piriton to stop the itch if you have one. Look at ingredients to ensure you don't use it again.....

I have hte smae reaction to most face masks. Make your own next time.

Good Luck
Reply:I dont think there's much you can do now any process you take will take a few days
Reply:Put a little Vaseline Petroleum Jelly on your face it helps quite a bit.
Reply:If its an allergic reaction, i think you could take an anti-histamine such as hay fever tablets. Something like Piriton or Benadryl.
