Skin breakout after facial

[Biene]

I had a facial on Saturday and now I can't stop itching my face and my skin has turned from smooth to bumpy.

I had an oatmeal mask and I think it must've been way too strong on my skin.

Does anyone know what I can do to calm my skin down?

All the skin under my chin area is soooo itchy I'm desperately trying not to itch.

Hmmmm...oatmeal should be pretty mild...

Facials ARE meant to bring out the nasties though... their goal is to MAKE you break-out to quickly get rid of all the cr*p in there so your skin can then settle.

It's why you don't get a facial a week or less before a wedding or whatever... you'll often look pretty bad.

That'll teach me for eating so much chocolate, now its coming out of my pores :rolleyes:

yep- the facials
draws out all of the impurities in your skin- not nice but its great afterwards!!!!

I'd suggest to avoid cleansing or putting on any moisturiser until your skin settles down. Possibly you've had a reaction. Oatmeal shouldn't normally cause that sort of reaction.
