When it comes to our skin care routine, it is clear that we have the best of intentions, as we want to take care of it and keep it young and radiant for as long as possible. However, even with the best of intentions, we can end up sabotaging our skin’s health, without even realizing what could be doing it wrong.
Whether you are a man or a woman, each skin is different and just because something worked for someone else does not mean that it will also do the same for you. For this reason, it is very important that before using any product, we first consult an expert or, at least, carry out a test on a small area of our face for a considerable time, otherwise, we run the risk of suffering adverse reactions that they can leave unimaginable havoc on our skin.
The experience of Aurora Garcia, a 20-year-old, is a good reminder that we should take the time to pay a little more attention to our skin before using any product. Aurora went viral after sharing on her TikTok account the condition that she suffered on her face when using the popular effect solution peeling from the brand The Ordinary.
The young woman revealed that, for a long time, she had suffered from blackheads on her nose and chin, so when she saw that the product had become so popular among social network users, she decided to use it, taking into account the wonders that were said of the.
As soon as she got her hands on it, Aurora ran a reaction test on a small area of her face for five minutes, experiencing no adverse reaction.
So she decided to apply the product to the problem area of her face, her T-zone. What was her surprise the next day when upon waking up, she realized that small lumps had appeared on her chin with a feeling of tension and burning.
By the third day, there were blisters covering my chin. As the days went by, the pain got worse, he couldn’t eat, he could barely open his mouth.

Aurora decided to go to the ER, where she was told she had a skin condition called pertigo, so she was prescribed antibiotics and an ointment. However, her skin kept getting worse, she even started getting irritation around her eye, so she went back to the doctor, where she was diagnosed with impetigo again.
Since sharing her story on TikTok, Aurora commented that people have told her to use things like bleach and even sugar on her face to help heal it. Oh no!

The whole situation has been very hard on me, my self-esteem, my relationship and my good night’s rest. My skin is completely healed and it will probably take a lot of time and some microneedling to heal.
Aurora hopes her story will help prevent this from happening to others and advises that it’s not a good idea to believe everything you see on social media about skin care advice, no matter how amazing the person recommending it looks. .
I learned that everyone’s skin is so different that if you really have a skin problem and would like to fix it with chemicals, please see a doctor.
Fortunately, the nightmare seems to be over for Aurora and her skin has recovered considerably.
