@CHLAEMMA I’ll second @SportyGirly125‘s advice to see a dermatologist or primary care doctor, if you can. You might have a skin condition that needs a little special treatment like rosacea, eczema, etc. I’ll say a bit more about this in the spoiler tag below: SpoilerYou could be very sensitive to something you’ve been putting on your face. Or it could be something you used just on your hands, body, or hair that transferred to your face when you touched it. That happens to me whenever I use any lavender hand cream. 😭 (My facial skin haaaaates lavender.) Could even be laundry detergent used on your pillowcases and sheets. A dermatologist or other medical doc can help figure that out. What’s your current skincare routine (brands + product names), from cleanser to sunscreen? Sometimes, overusing certain products can cause lots of irritation. AHA exfoliants, especially glycolic acid, are a common cause; those should be used just 1-3 times a week and never twice on the same day. Also, daytime sunscreen’s a must if you use AHAs: they make skin more sensitive to UV rays. You could be very sensitive to something you’ve been putting on your face.

Also, daytime sunscreen’s a must if you use AHAs: they make skin more sensitive to UV rays. To calm your skin down right now, try a cold compress: soak a washcloth with cold water, drape it over your face, and hold it there for up to 15 minutes. Then, while your skin’s damp (not dripping wet), apply a thick moisturizing balm to seal in hydration and protect your skin while it heals. Something that contains petrolatum is ideal: plain ol’ Vaseline, CeraVe Healing Ointment, or Aquaphor Ointment (my personal fave, but avoid Aquaphor if you’re sensitive or allergic to lanolin). Aveeno Eczema Therapy Nighttime Itch Relief Balm is also good: it contains dimethicone instead of petrolatum, but also has colloidal oats that can soothe irritated skin. When my skin gets red flaky irritated, I like to do a cold compress, then apply an Aveeno body lotion (usually their Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion) for soothing oats, then top that with Aquaphor. I do this because, for my angry facial skin, Aveeno’s not moisturizing enough on its own but I still want that oat relief. Oh, and if your skin’s too painful to wash with your usual cleanser, try The INKEY List Oat Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 5 oz/ 150 mL instead: apply it to dry skin, let it sit 5-10 minutes as a soothing oat mask, then apply water + your usual cleanser (hopefully it’s a gentle one) right over it and rinse everything off together. That Oat Cleansing Balm has saved my irritated facial skin more times than I can count.

Thank you for the recommendation about the face cream. I do have sensitive skin because of the breakout. If I use too strong serum or face cream it doesn’t work for me. I’ll see if there’s a trial for this cream I can test it out.
