Ice it with a bowl full of ice cubes & then steam it over the stovetop using a kettle - go back & forth a few times ending with a cold compress towel over your entire face - Vaseline the driest areas over night, but try to avoid Vaseline on the T-Zone....

I know, first consider changing your exfoliating prod, probably it's to strong for ur skin type. Then apply a moisturizer (a good one, best if it has urea in it), if you do this intensively it may pass in a day, in the meantime u can wear a cream - makeup mix... (50:50)

Just keep moisturizing it with a good moisturizer at least 4 or 5 times a day.

just leave it alone and it should get better in a couple of days. keep up your regular routine without the exfoliating. if you have to go somewhere special, you can try using a hydrocortisone cream to reduce redness.

Definitely moisturize your face and when you wash it, use lukewarm water instead of hot, and keep your fingers away from your face. But definitely moisturize!

oh my gosh, i went through that. Use aloe vera lotion and apply to your face until it goes away but don't use anything else while your doing this.
