Brief Answer:
Supportive care, stop the cosmetics

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

i read your question and i understand your concern. First thing you need to do is wash your face with warm tepid water and get rid of any left over cream on the face or any other body part you used. Next see how much is the allergic reaction, if there are pimples, redness, swelling, or just an itching discomfort. Try antihistamines orally like benadryl or zyrtec and low dose hydrocortisone cream over the area and wait and see, if the allergies don't go away or worsen then visit ER and let them take care of the allergens from there. For now all you need is wait and see and do as directed.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
