bleaching facial - #18370

Arnav

I am kinda freaking out here. The other day I decided to try bleaching facial products because my skin was feeling so dull and I saw all these rave reviews online. At first, it seemed fine, but now I've got these weird patches and my skin feels super sensitive. Like, I even followed the instructions closely, but I maybe left it on a little too long? I don’t really know!! I thought bleaching facial products would brighten my skin, not make it worse. Plus, I read somewhere that over-bleaching can mess up your skin’s barrier, which is terrifying. I have some redness around my cheeks, and they feel kinda hot to the touch. Is this normal after using a bleaching facial? Should I just stop using it completely, or is there something I can do to fix or soothe my skin? I’ve been putting aloe on, but honestly, it doesn’t feel like enough. Has anyone else had this reaction? How long until my skin calms down, or should I see a dermatologist? Just feeling super lost right now and any advice would really help! Thx!!
