[PSA] Don't apply chemical exfoliants before going in a hot tub. Holy CRAP.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
8 days ago, I put some Amlactin lotion on my arms and legs to try to finally start addressing my KP.Later in the day, a friend invited me over for a hot tub. I spent a couple hours in there, then headed home and showered.Immediately after my shower I realised my horrible mistake. My skin instantly became unbearably itchy. Like, shooting lightning bolts of itchy pain, nothing I've ever experienced before. I quickly slathered my limbs with a gentle oatmeal body lotion but that didn't do much. I just laid in bed gritting my teeth, cursing my foolish mistake, for hours. Finally the itchy pain faded enough for me to sleep.8 days later, I'm still getting the shooting itchy pains after showers but luckily not nearly as debilitating. I've been using Cerave in the tub right after showering to hopefully repair the damage I did.So there's my PSA. Don't make the same mistake, it's been brutal.
