Hi there. I have a problem with the skin on my face. I bought and used an at home face tanning machine for 5 days, 30 mins at a time. My face didnt feel burnt, I ve had a burn from a tanning salon before, but my face started reacting to something so I stopped using it thinking it was the tanner. That was three weeks ago. My skin can no longer retain or produce any moisture so it s extremely dry, tight and sometimes puffy. The first two weeks my eyes were almost swollen shut every morning and my skin was itchy. I went to the dr and he said I had some kind of reaction and maybe burnt my skin. He prescribed me 1% hydracortazone cream to use once a day for no longer than 7 days and claratine twice daily to see if it was an allergy. Also, glaxal base moisturizer. The swelling went down and my face is no longer itchy but it s still extremely dry and tight and a bit swollen. I did some research and found that maybe my skin needed Urea to fix the water binding molecules in my skin. So I called my pharmacist and picked up Uremol 20%. It s suoposd to penetrate the 7 layers of the skin and help water retention. I ve been using that for 3 days along with the glaxal base, drinking lots of water and still nothing. I realize maybe the Uremol takes longer to work but im wondering what else I can do? I put on moisturizer like 10 times a day and within 5 minutes or so it s dry and tight again :( Please please help :(
