About a month ago I had a light chemical peel. My face responded normally, according to the aesthetician and from what I read on the web beforehand. However, my forehead has been breaking out somewhat ever since. It isn't horrible or anything, but it's noticeable, especially in the sunlight. This isn't acne, per se, but slightly raised bumps that just won't seem to go away. I noticed that when I was heeling from the peel that my forehead responded differently from the rest of my face. There was more peeling, and it looked more 'sunburned' and shiny immediately afterward. I'm wondering if the chemical peel caused me to begin breaking out on my forehead or whether it is just a coincidence, since I've not heard of this as a side effect. I have combination skin, incidentally, with an oily t-zone. I use no other products than Dove sensitive skin because I tend to respond to anything else with an irritation. Any remedies, or suggestions (other than not having another chemical peel)? Thanks.

No, haha. There is many cures for this dreadful skin condition. But I, however, like homemade remedies. That way I know what's in them in case of allergic reactions or more breakouts. Also, I like them because they usually work better than the store brands do, and they're very inexpensive. I have quite a few favorite scrubs and masks. But, I'll give you one recipe for each of the best working ones. Green Tea Sugar Scrub: -3 to 4 Tablespoons of green tea, any kind. -1 Teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. DO NOT USE REG. VINEGAR! -1 Teaspoon of honey, any kind. -And sugar. It varies, I use just enough til' the mixture is thick. Rub on to your face, scrubbing with fingertips. Allow to settle for 10 minutes, wash. Face should be smooth around pimples and glowing. Use everyday. You will see results in no more than 2 weeks. Beware! It smells because of the vinegar, so I use it before bed. This scrub reduces acne scars and minimizes pores and it gets rid of acne. Strawberry Yogurt Facial Mask: -5 strawberries. Mash em' up and remove green leaves on the tops. -1/2 cup of regular, no fruit added, low fat yogurt. -2 teaspoons of honey, any kind. -1 teaspoon of olive oil. -3 to 4 tablespoons of oatmeal. Ground! Not rolled oats or instant! Leave mixture on for 20 minutes after rubbing it in. It should harden in 20 minutes. Then wash off. This mask renews skin, brightens it up, and smooths it out. Also helps cleanse and remove acne. I really hope I helped! Good luck!

I had a chemical peel and i developed an allergy after that. Dont touch it and get a cream from ur dermatologist. It might take a week or so before it completely disappears. Dont worry its perfectly ok.
