Evil Stage Makeup!!!

Hullo everyone,

Basically, I've been wearing stage make up on my arms, legs and face for the past 3 evenings (which I no longer have to do as the show is finished :yippe: - and that is a damn cute new smiley!). It was meant to make me look 'black' so had to be heavily applied to my sensitive, pale skin...and I've reacted with rough, dry, itchy red blotches on my arms and rash like dry patches just under one eye and lower cheek areas. I've applied moisturiser all day in an attempt to give my face a boost - after a few minutes the slightly flakey sore dryness returns. This is causing pain! Lots of pain - so easily irritated and my usually fine, smooth skin is flakey sensitive and sore. Me mama suggested I put on some "Diprobase Cream - Emollient"...reacted to it and now appear to have small dots over the already bad areas.

Any suggestions before I give in and scratch myself senseless...such a good girl so far having resisted temptation knowing I'll make it worse! Help and advice always appreciated :D

Malt xxx :D

    Yeah E45 or similar moisturiser...

    If it gets worse, see your doc. Sounds like a reaction to the makeup and nothing more sinister.
