I had the facial yesterday at noon, and starting around 8 or 9 last night my face started itching. This morning my eyes are almost swollen shut. It doesn't add up (since it's 8 hrs later after my facial that I start seeing a reaction), I've had facials before, just not an organic one. Anyone have this happen to them?

I have never had that kind of reaction. The organics (which if you think about it are taken from the earth) could more likely cause an allergic reaction. I would do a couple of things -- I would call the person that gave you the facial, and ask if this has happened to anyone before - (she may have some cream to help) and should offer that help at no charge.
Maybe take a Benedryl to help with itching. And if you are still concerned, by all means, call your doctor, or his nurse and ask what you should do. Take care of your face. Keep an eye on any changes you might see, and don't wait too long to get it checked out if it continues to bother you.

Yes you could very well have had an allergic reaction. These things do not always show up right away. You need to see a doctor ASAP and also call the salon that did the facial to ask exactly what the ingredients and chemicals were in the facial they used on you. Call your doc or go to ER right now to get this checked out and also call the salon right away.

It's an allergic rash. I got one from using the philosophy purity cleanser. I know it stinks, but i used a bunch of different products for awhile and it didn't help much. You need to just let it go away on its own. I don't know if your a girl or a boy, but here's what i did (my doctor told me to do this): Every day, wash your face with your fingers. Nothing else. You might break out a little in result, but right now you are just trying to get the rash to go away. make sure you wash all the cleanser off. Afterwards, apply a benzyl cream (you can get this at any drugstore) to the rash. Your face might feel very dry and tight after this. DO NOT apply moisturizer. With rashes you need to dry them up. Applying anything hydrating will make it last longer. It's okay to apply moisturizer to the rest of your face as long as your careful to not get it on the rash. If you are a girl (I can't see you username here), DO NOT wear liquid foundation. You're going to have to look like a pizza face for a couple days, but that's better than the rash lasting 2 weeks and caking makeup over it. Trust me. That's about it... Hope i helped and good luck!

Absolutely. Just because something is organic it doesn't mean that there are not potential allergens, just not as many potentially harmful chemicals. You are probably allergic to one of the plants that is in the peel. I would call them for an ingredients list and go see your doctor.

isn't organic mean grown in poop? I'm a cosmetologist and you can get fungus from the esthetician using contaminated products. If i were u I would tell them what's happening mabey they will pay for u to see a dermatologist. or better yet go see one then a lawyer. get a refund at least.

absolutely. just b/c something is organic doesn't mean you can't be allergic to it's ingredients. it just means there are no preservatives added. try some benadryl to stop the itching and swelling.
