Beauty Tips For Body Care
Sharing a titbit in the hope that it will help someone out there!I went from zero to all the AHA and retinol in a three day period and now have bad chemical burns on my cheeks and chin.A lot of advice online says how important it is to moisturise the burnm however all moisturisers buuuuuuurned so bad.I went to my doctor today and got some great advice which I wanted to share:Don't use a traditional moisturiser -- the water content will enhance the existing burning sensationUse a simple cleanser (QV, CeraVe, Cetaphil)Moisturise with oils (rosehip, argan and marula were recommended)Lightly apply a 1% hydrocortisone ointment -- not the cream, it will burnUse an icepack to take heat out of the skin (5 mins on, 5 mins off) four times a dayNo exfoliating or actives for four weeksIt was so comforting to get an alternative to burning creams. Hope this helps someone!!
