Although retinol is a magical ingredient, unfortunately, it is accompanied by a side effect that it can burn your skin. Let’s discuss how to treat your retinol burned skin.
Retinol is a powerful ingredient to fight aging symptoms, pigmentation, and acne and make skin look fresh and youthful. However, no matter if you’re new on retinol or a pro, you still have a chance to burn your skin with retinol once in a while. To treat that burned skin, you need to go through the following tips: Skin Burned with Retinol
- Stop using retinol immediately. Also, stop using other aggressive skincare products such as face acids, exfoliators, etc. Also, avoid any product that is too drying or has fragrances.
- Apply soothing products such as aloe vera gel, Cica balm, etc.
- Protect your burned skin from sun exposure until healed, so don’t miss out on your sunscreen.
- Avoid makeup and other beauty products while your skin is red or irritated. Once these symptoms are relieved, try using silicone-based products until your skin is completely healed.
- After your burn is healed, reintroduce retinol in your skincare. Use this just like a beginner by starting with low concentration and slowly building up until your skin can tolerate it without having any side effects.
