Could I Have Accidentally Scrapped Off Skin While Epilating Upper Lip As Its Pink And Extremely Sore?
I just epilated the corners of my upper lip and now they re pink, incredibly sore and oozing. It s been about 2 hours since I epilated. I tried washing my face with water and it stung intensely. I m worried I may have taken the top layer of my skin off
