When vanity and common sense go to battle in my life, vanity will stomp cs's backside every time.
AT LEAST this time I used depilatory actually meant for faces.
AT LEAST this time I washed it off BEFORE the burning started (you know, basically torturing my skin without actually removing any hair).

For the tightening,
reddening,
bubbling
and
overall 3-degree burn look to overtake my face.
I think I'll go find some chocolate and sit in a dark room...
for a few months.
Or at least until my common sense builds up some muscle.
Ack.. and is it ok?
ReplyDeleteNot good. I'll never forget when I tried to wax my lip. Evidently, it clogged all my pores and Imust have had 50 pimples. Pretty. :) Not.
ReplyDeleteHoping things worked out all right for you.
WoW! You are brave!
ReplyDeleteOh, honey! Are you okay?
ReplyDeleteI get a facial about every two months, a lovely and soothing experience where someone massages my face and talks nice to me. :-) I'm easy that way.

Ack! That sounds horrible! I'll just keep my moustache (okay- I'm just kidding about the 'stach).
ReplyDeleteOh my! Well, I've heard of going green, but you may have taken things a little too far!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, I hope you are doing OK.
I know this agony all too well. Get a big magnifying mirror and carry it everywhere with a basket of tweezers. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYeah, love the leftover rash that lasts for a couple weeks. No one wants to talk about the elephant in the room.....
ReplyDeleteOh girl. My razor is my best friend. And my tweezers. And I find that I can't get the eyebrows anymore. I might actually pay someone to wax them. I HATE having to pay for that. Gah.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your chocolate. I hope it comes with peace and quiet.
As a man, I am a little confused by this post. Actually, I have no idea what is going on.
ReplyDeleteOh dear...this doesn't sound good. Are we talking an allergic reaction to a face mask? Oh, I hope not!
ReplyDeleteOuch! Bless your heart. I hope it isn't as bad as I'm imagining.
ReplyDeleteUm, ouch?!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about having my eyebrows threaded.
I'm fairly certain in this case that vanity will win over common sense, eventually.
Gah! Are you okay?
ReplyDeleteI've never had a facial. Never even had a pedicure. I'm pretty sure in my case that's because of vanity too. My feet and eyebrows are embarrassing enough in my own house. :)
wax, laser, shaver, tweezers--no chemicals. they will hurt you. I'm with Flea a shaver or a tweezer. I'm so grateful that the soft WHITE beard I have is basically like peach fuzz so i leave it alone. I do however pluck all those wirey black chin hairs and the occasional wild eyebrow hair that is part wire and any gray ones. At some point we will get old enuf to stop caring about these things. (IHOPE)
ReplyDeleteOF course you could just lie and say that Miss KY applied Rogaine to your face in your sleep and it is simply not your fault and nothing at all can be done.
i found one that works, finally, and if I'm careful i don't get the burning.
