Self Tanner + My Face = Uh oh.?

I used neutrogena build a tan on my face yesterday and now the skin under my eyes and around my mouth is red. It's attrocious. Why did this happen, is there anything I can do to fix it, and how long will it take to go back to normal?

Neutrogena probably moisturized your skin and made it slightly more susceptible to burning. It sounds like you have a light sunburn.





The areas you're describing (just under the eyes, around the lips) are regions of particularly sensitive skin. It is easy to damage that skin - and that's likely what happened.





As to how long it will take to return to normal - my guess is that it will be gone within a week (especially if it is just a light burn).





Aloe should help. Treat the reddened skin as you would any other sunburn. A little moisturizer, some aloe, and keeping it out of direct sunlight as much as possible, and you should be good as new very quickly.





If, for any reason, the redness is NOT gone or reduced within a week - or if it gets worse in any way - you should definitely consult a physician, to ensure that it is not something more serious. I doubt this, however. :)
