I used a mask overnight and now my skin is sensitive and rough

Hi everyone! I usually have pretty soft-feeling skin and don't consider myself sensitive. However one night I put a mask on and forgot to wash it off. When I woke up the next morning my skin was feeling sensitive, it would hurt when I touched it and now it feels like it has a rough texture. It's been 2 days ever since and I am worried my skin will stay like this, anyone have any tips??? Thank you.

That happened to me one after using benzoyl peroxide and a face mask right before. You basically chemically burned your skin and you'll need a VERY heavy and potent moisturizer. It took me about 2 weeks to get my skin feeling back to normal, it doesn't have any permanent damage but it sucked washing my face in the shower 😞 I used First Aid Beauty as well as Lush's Celestial on sensitive areas that needed extra care. Hope this helped you!

Thank you! That was really helpful. It took me about a week or so but now my skin is back to normal. I used Aquabomb as a moisturizer and the Avocado sheet mask from Sephora 🙂
