Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have chemical injury over the face leading to first degree chemical burns which is the cause of redness and itching..
You should apply a Steroid based ointment like Panderm Plus over the face to reduce redness and itching..
Doing cold compresses over the face can reduce inflammation ..
You can take Benadryl or Claritin to relieve itching.
Apply honey over the face as it helps in prevention of scar formation..
Avoid all chemical containing face cosmetics and apply aloevera gel or Petroleum jelly over the face..

If still you do not find improvement consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..
