Beauty Tips For Body Care
tl;dr: saved extra clay mask, didn't notice it was moldy, severe allergic reactionY'all are probably already smarter than me but just in case it saves anyone else... Last week I mixed up way too much Aztec Clay Mask. I made it in a small tupperware so I just popped the lid on and saved it to use later thinking I was being smart!! I used it a few times in the shower, not looking at the mask, just scooping some out with my hand and slathering it on. MEANWHILE I've been suffering from extreme full body hives and some swelling in my extremities for about five days. I emailed with my doc and we thought this was due to stress from self isolation because I wasn't using any new products, eating any new foods, etc. Well yesterday I went to use some of the mask on a pimple and it was FULL OF MOLD. I'm about 98% sure now that this was an allergic reaction to the mold and even if it wasn't I feel extremely grossed out (and stupid!!) that I was slathering this on my face. I am starting to mend now (Claritin, Benadryl, lots of rest, lots of water) but this could have been really bad especially if I needed medical attention right now. Please be more vigilant than I was and be safe out there!
