homemade facial - #16545

Dhruv

I am really confused right now. I used a homemade facial a few days ago because my skin was breaking out like crazy, and I thought maybe something natural would help. It was just some mashed avocado, honey, and a bit of lemon juice. Anyway, after using that homemade facial, my skin went from bad to worse! My face is now super red and feels kinda itchy. I thought homemade facial stuff was supposed to be gentle and calming, but this totally didn’t turn out that way. I mean, what went wrong? Could it be that the lemon juice in my homemade facial was too acidic? I didn't think that would be a problem since I read a bunch of articles about how good vitamin C is for skin. I also noticed that I might have overdone it with the quantity, like maybe applied too much of the homemade facial. Did anyone else have a similar experience with a homemade facial gone bad? Also, any tips on how to calm down this redness? I really prefer natural remedies but I don't want to irritate my skin even more. Is there some kind of magic trick to fix this? I hope there's something I can do that isn’t too harsh or chemical-filled.
