i tried a new cleansing balm and it broke me out in a rash 😭 y’all have any advice on how to calm my skin and get it to heal?

Clean it with gentle face wash, avoid any harsh products / scrubbing. You can use calamine lotion or hydrocortisone if it’s really irritated or. You can do cold compresses too but try to let skin breathe so no makeup of course

^ strip back your skincare to the basics, a gentle cleanser and basic, super hydrating moisturiser. Avoid makeup and be patient.

thank you both 🥺 i already have basic, hydrating products because i’m on tretinoin. i’ve been trying to be super gentle with my skin. it’s starting to flake and peel now and itches so bad.
