Dear members,

I noticed that my face was really dry and not that soft in some areas anymore so I thought scrubbing hard may help since it would rub off the dead skin cells. I tried that earlier today and it did help however my skin feels like it's burning a bit and it's really red! The redness isn't going away! I want my skin to heal fast and I want the redness to go away.

Will it go away? How long will it take? Any remedies? 😕

Let me know! Thank you sooo much! This is an emergency so please help! I'm scared!!! 😭

Well...scrubbing will never help.
Next time try using an exfoliating scrub..

As for the redness, it'll go away by itself

i agree you should try an exfoliating scrub...as for the redness.. any face moisturizer will make it feel smoother and it will also help your skin heal faster

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it was an exfoliating scrub 😳. It was an apricot scrub. Now my face feels as if its baby skin. Like it feels so sensative and looks red.

How long will the redness stay? a day? week? month? Let me know please!!!

oh wow lol...im guessing it was st. ives lol i hate that stuff!

well it depends on your skin type some people have sensitive skin and others dont so yeah i think you should just wait but for the burning i already mentioned using a moisturizer or a body cream since it way more moisturizing than a body lotion....also Vaseline is always an option
