I fucked up and bought the Korean face shaving meme. My friend is an esthetician and recommended it for smoother skin and easier makeup application. I had to stop because my face became extremely inflamed and I'm now breaking out all over. It's been over a week since I last shaved and my face is still raw and breaking out. Now, I have stubble to boot, though it's very light blonde it is visible. I'm really at a loss as to what to do. Waxing is out, my skin is way too sensitive, I can't shave, I can't even use soap or toner because it burns. Thinking about getting an electrolysis thing for hair removal but really at a loss as to what else I can possibly do.

I, too bought into the korean skin care meme. Bought a shitton of products from snail cream to green tea/bamboo water toner, fruity sheet masks etc etc basically spent like $100+ just to ruin my previous immaculate skin. FEELS SO GOOD

Skin adapts, y'all fucked up because you did too much shit that your skin wasn't used to. The best thing to do now is just revert to your previous routine and you'll be good in a week or two.

What the fuck is Korean face shaving? And fuck if I know, grow a beard for a few months until your skin goes back to normal, maybe? If you can't shave anymore you might as well try to look good without shaving. You can trim your beard with a machine without it irritating your skin too, using a guard to avoid the blades touching your face.

This. Growing and maintaining something like pic related is easy as fuck with a trimmer and doesn't even take long to grow out

No, face shaving is actually shaving the whole face with a single blade. It's supposed to be deep exfoliation.

Ohhh I see now so I'm willing to bet OP didn't get a break out but razor bumps. Tough shit

Yeah, I'm thinking it might be foliculitis from an infection. Maybe they didn't do their aftercare.
