MY FACE IS PEELING:(?
okay, so i used a face wash that is way too strong i guess. my face is peeling and when i put makeup on it looks even worse. does anyone know any fast tricks to get rid of the peeling skin? i need it gone by tomorrow and i dont have time to run to the store, so please only recommend treatments that i could do at home. i heard that olive oil rubbed on my face would stop the peeling, but that sounds like it would make me break out. (i am VERY acne prone) please please please help :) thank you

One way to get rid of the extra skin is to exfoliate….but be warned, this can make your skin red and possibly peel even more later on. Here’s what I’ve done in the past on super dry days: Wash your face with warm water and with a warm wet rag, scrub gently in a circular motion, especially in the spots that are peeling the most. When you feel you have removed the excess skin, rinse with cool water and pat dry. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING the patting dry, apply a large amount of facial moisturizer. Make sure it is a generous amount, or the rubbing will cause abrasion and lead to more peeling. This method will work temporarily, but your skin may be red and irritated the following few days. In the future, avoid scrubs and cleansers. Instead, use a hydrating toner (make sure it’s hydrating) and facial moisturizer. Exfoliate occasionally, but no more than once a week. Scrubs will only make your skin irritated and dry.

Use an unscented moisturizer, maybe GENTLY exfoliate before the moisturizer.

get a face moisturizer and use a bunch of it. put it on every 4 hours
im sure you have some thing at home like that, make sure that its for the face because other stuff could break you out

Hi(: Sorry about the situation. I have VERY VERY sensative skin and have acne as well. Maybe try lotion. Moisture should sooth it. Vaseline, baby oil.,etc would help. Sorry to say, it might not work by tomorrow,but, should clear up some of the irritation. hope I helped. good Luck(:!
