Welp, burned my face off..


So...a couple of weeks ago I used a certain type of face wash that my skin did NOT like at all..I had a little (ok not very little) reaction to this wash and literally burned my face off..That night when it happened, once i put it in it was burning, I took it off and my face was bright red all over and stung so bad. So I had cold rags on my face for a few hours..I honestly thought the next morning it would be gone..Wrong-O! I woke up the next morning and my face was not only still red, but had huge burn marks all over my face..Wow did I ever look beautiful that day :) It not only looked great, but it was pretty painful. I was able to get into a dermatologist that day, thank goodness..They gave me a very lovely shot in my hip and put me on some steroids..Thankfully this did the trick and knocked out the redness and burns fairly quickly. After a few days my face was back to normal..I should have took a picture of my face at its worst, but I couldn't bare to look at myself like that so I couldn't bring myself to take the pic haha...However, my roommate Chelsey took this lovely picture of me laying on my bed that night with my cold rags..so cute :)

Ok I'll admit I laughed when I read the title of this post. But then I felt guilty for laughing cuz that is such a sad story! I'm so sorry Ash! But next time (hopefully there isn't a next time)take pictures so we can feel your pain a little more:). Oh and I just tried a new face wash this morning and your story had me all spooked and nervous... but it's all good. No facial burns or stinging. Anways, I can't wait to see you over Christmas and your apartment decorations are super cute! Love ya!
