Why does my face sting after moisturizing?
HiAs the others have pointed out, you may be allergic to one or many ingredients in your moisturizer. Most allergic skin reactions start out with the skin feeling noticeably warm and itchy and getting red. Do not apply any moisturizer with AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids for example glycolic acid, lactic acid etc) or retinols directly on damp skin. That will irritate your skin further.However, my personal take on this is that you have probably damaged your skin barrier. (the lipid barrier that protects our skin from external irritants and curbs trans-epidermal water loss). If your are washing your face too often with harsh soapy cleansers and exfoliating too much, you may want to stop it. Wash your skin with a mild, pH balanced face wash and make sure the temperature of the water is comfortably lukewarm…you can splash your face once or twice with cold water after your have removed the face wash. Don’t scrub or rub your face to dry it. Pat it very gently with a soft microfiber cloth and leave it a bit damp. Stop using all actives for at least 3 months. Go very basic and simple with your skin care. One skincare step that may change the game for you is to add a pH balancing hydrating toner (not an astringent…a HYDRATING TONER) after you wash your face and before applying any serum or creams. You can do two layers of such a toner…first, swipe gently with a cotton pad to remove any residues and the second layer patted into your skin with your clean (obviously!) palms.Coming to ingredients you should be on the lookout for in your products (at least during this restorative/skin barrier healing phase)…try products that feature skin barrier restoring workhorses like - ceramides, cholesterol (yes!), panthenol, Centella asiatica, madecassoside (derived from centella asiatica), fatty acids, phospholipids like Phytosphingosine, hyaluronic acid, chamomile extract, restorative and healing oils like evening primrose oil, baobab oil etc. The Cerave cream that comes in a white tub can be a good basic restorative moisturizer for you. And don’t rub anything into your skin…gentle pats, or tapping with fingers should be enough.I hope you are using a good sunscreen everyday.Repair your skin barrier. That will resolve a lot of issues for you.
My face will be dry just after washing with facewash but becomes oily after some time(an hour or so). Can anyone suggest me any cream?
This is what you may be doing wrong:Not using a gentle face wash.I have had super oily-combination skin since the start and made this mistake for years. I used a face wash that stripped every moisture bit from my skin making it dry, thinking it would control shine on my face to some extent. Turns out, I was wrong. Instead, it made me run towards my moisturizer and apply it liberally over my face. The result being a super oily skin with dry patches.It’s only when I consulted a good dermatologist, I switched over to a gentle face wash. This is what he said: By using a face wash that’s drying in nature, your skin produces more oil in order to compensate for the loss. That’s why your face ends up producing more oil and also, remains dry.From the time I started using a gentle face wash, I noticed a huge difference in the way my skin behaves. This is what I do now:Use a mild cleanser like Forest essentials neem saffron face wash or Kama Ayurveda mridul soap free cleanser. Both of them are effective in cleaning away dirt without giving my skin dry patches.I spray a facial mist from an appropriate distance and let it sit on my skin for 20–30 seconds.I follow up with a moisturizer to increase the absorption rate. I use one according to the season. If it’s summer, I use a water based and light-weight moisturizer. If it’s winter, I use something more hydrating.Hope this helps you.

How do you treat a bleeding pimple to avoid scarring?
Don't make it bleed in the first place. Seriously. If it is bleeding, you either squeezed it or picked it. If you squeezed it, you probably ruptured and/or traumatized the pore beneath the skin, which is what causes craters. If you picked it...well it's not really necessary to explain how picking at a scab increases the chance of scarring, is it?Let's just assume that just like every guy I know, you have already ignored this advice and your pimple is already bleeding. Wet healing can be up to 70% faster than dry healing, so if the pimple is anywhere but your face your best bet is to put neosporin/bacitracin ointment in it and cover it with a band aid for the first day and occasional mild cortisone on it after that. Same advice for the face but you will probably want to skip the band aid.
How do I remove spots of chicken pox from my face?
This is a revised version of a previous post and should help you greatly. I am going to assume you have normal skin. Aloe vera gel is the best natural skin healer and the fresh plant leaf will help a lot to reverse the scars as well. My suggestion is to buy some aloe gel, a good one, and use that right after you washed your skin. Use it under your lotion after it dries. The fresh leaf is good for night time and can be left on all night!Here are some suggestions. Every day wash face well and apply lemon juice and honey and leave on for 10 minutes. Wash off and pat dry. Apply some aloe vera gel. You can also use a fresh aloe vera leaf. Peel the outer skin off and use the gel inside. Rub this gel into the scars and all over the face and neck. Leave on overnight or rinse off after 15 minutes.Apply some Vitamin E oil. Take a Vitamin E capsule and prick the capsule with a needle or pin and squeeze out the oil. Rub into the scars and the face all over. Use this every night. In the daytime. Do the same thing but cover the face all over with a moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 25 or higher! This is very important. Do not go outside even on a cloudy day without sunscreen as the scars will get worse without protection. You can also buy some glutathione soap or kojic acid soap. These soaps are very drying so rub the oil in well after washing the area with these. Both these soaps have a bleaching effect and will lighten the scars. Make sure to rub aloe and oil into the area afterwards. You can also use almond oil instead of the capsules. Almond oil contains vitamin E.Once a week wash your whole body and face with a scrubbing soap or cleanser to exfoliate or remove surface dead skin. The new skin underneath will respond and heal a lot faster and will look smooth and glowing.
