You ladies are very knowledgeable about beauty products, and I think I need your help ASAP. I was down to the last few drops of my Purity Made Simple which I've used for years, but I thought I'd try something new...something "natural" for a change. I tried the Andalou Naturaals Citrus Kombucha Cleansing Gel (blue bottle). It got rave reviews online (I don't think The Q sells it, though). I used it Friday and Saturday with no problem. I woke up this morning and areas of my face (cheeks and chin areas) felt rough. When I looked in the mirror, it looked as if every single pore on my cheeks and chin has white pus (impurities?) coming out. Every. Single. Pore. My skin feels kind of dry and is a little red. Naturally, yeah, I stopped using it and just went back to my Purity.
I don't think I'm allergic...I mean, is it normal to have something detox pores like this??? Is that what's happening?? Is this new, natural cleanser really getting rid of junk in my pores??? (I had a professional facial two weeks ago and recently exfoliated with a professional line mild exfolidator.) I have an important meeting to got to tomorrow and am afraid of what I'm going to look like in the morning.
Has anyone ever had a reaction to any product this way? I absolutely will not continue using this product, but is it detoxing or what??? I put a thin layer of hydrocortisone on half my face as a test to see if it will help or hinder.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much.
