Burned my face using Veet!

Rebecca's family visited us last Sunday and her sister, Evelyn mentioned about using Veet to remove unwanted hair. Foolishly, I went down to NTUC to buy & applied it to my face, in my much anticipated effort of removing my consistently growing facial hair. WOW! The very moment that the gel touched my face, it burned! Again, I foolishly grit my teeth and endured for 3 minutes (the required amount of time stated on the aluminium can), thinking that its normal because it needs to kill the hair cells and root.

I was in for a RUDE shock as after 3 minutes, despite repeated washing of my face, it still burned and hurt for the next 2 days! Thankfully, my house-based 'nurse' and wife, Rebecca helped to apply soothing cream on my face for the next 2 days and nights. By the 3rd day, my face started to peel and dried tiny bits of skin fell from my face, due to my occasional scratching. It was itchy!

Now, by the 4th day, my face is almost healed. PHEW! Thank God! I thought that I would be scarred for life! What a horrendous mistake! Such foolishness! Urgh! Phew...
