I've been having some trouble since I got a facial and waxing done. My face has these really bad patches now, and the left cheek feels super tight. I'm starting to think it might be a chemical burn. I tried using ice since last night, but it hasn't really made a difference. Could you let me know what else I should do?

I'm dealing with really sensitive skin and got a tan from being in the sea. Do you know any good creams or treatments that could help? I tried a carbon facial, but now my skin feels crazy dry, even though it used to be oily. Any advice on how to fix this?

For your sensitive and tanned skin, you can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream to reduce inflammation and redness. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer containing Aloe Vera or Calamine lotion to soothe your skin and keep it hydrated. To address the dryness caused by the carbon facial, you can switch to a gentle, hydrating cleanser and use a non-comedogenic moisturizer like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. Make sure to apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before going out in the sun to prevent further damage.
