Another Thursday, another Beauty Blooper! This one comes from an anonymous reader who was brave enough to share her story:

“Help me, BellaSugar! I went to the drugstore and purchased an over-the-counter chemical peel that left my face burning. My skin was very red and blotchy. The best analogy I can think of is that I resembled Samantha from the Sex and the City episode, “Plus One is The Loneliest Number.” It’s the one where she decides to get a chemical peel before Carrie’s book launch.

“After three days, it started to heal but it was still very sensitive, and I wouldn’t dream of going outside in the sun. I found that cold compresses and the gel from a natural aloe plant were very soothing, but nothing else seemed to help. One thing’s for sure: I’m not getting a chemical peel again anytime soon, unless it’s done by a professional.”

Solution: If you haven’t tried a strong treatment before, do a small patch test to see how your skin will react. If your face is burning, you can also try an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory cream such as Topricin (or really any anti-redness cream) since they contain calming agents. Also, if you’d like to cover up the blotchiness, use mineral makeup since it’s natural and it won’t clog your pores. To read about more unfortunate beauty bloopers, click here.
