I was taking my make up off with my make up remover wipes and it really irritated my skin :( in the shower I felt like my skin was really burning. Now its itchy and dry. I don't know what to do. I need help please, thanks you!

Pure aloe gel will be really soothing or grind up some oatmeal really fine (I use a coffee grinder) add water to make a paste and pat it on as a mask. rinse with cool water after about 10 minutes. either one should help calm your skin.

I just took the mask off. :) jesus my face is so soft! xD haha I definitly see at least a 30% or 40% redness go away.

Awww Dawn...its perfectly alright. ;) I'm glad it helped you out Kaitlin but definitely leave out those makeup remover wipes out your routine. I too had the same exact experience with makeup wipes from Burts Bees last year. My reaction was much worse...my face popped up with blistering welts. It was so scary as I thought for sure my skin was going to be scarred from it. But luckily it was all superficial and not too deep into my skin tissue. Just felt like my skin was burning even days afterwards. :(
