Type 2 Flare Up Fix - Aloe
Hi! So this might be removed because I haven't posted before but I've been a longtime reader. I hope this helps someone.
On Friday (5/8) I stupidly used First Aid Beauty Dewy Gel Cream as a moisturizer all on my face before spot testing. This is on me. I had read before on this same sub that the eucalyptus oil might be an irritant but I was an idiot and thought I'd be different since I just spent $36 on this tub - I was not.
Saturday (5/9) I woke up to the worst flare I've ever had. Pustules everywhere. My skin hurt and was hot. Just in case this helps someone - yes, I am about 2 days away from my period starting but I truly don't think this was a factor.
Sunday (5/10) It was slightly better but still hurt and was pealing. I was desperately searching this sub for suggestions but it all seemed hit or miss? On a whim I chose aloe.
So... I bought Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel and it was instant releif. Obviously it's not going to be the best long term like an Rx for Metro will be, but this worked. If you are searching for answers give it a go - I've been in your shoes looking for every $10-20 quick fix. This worked for me.
Edit: This sub requited me to submit a link but I get no benefit from it. Buy it from wherever you want!
