I bought the DDF sulfur mask and have used it 3 times. Every time I use it I feel a warming sensation and when I rinse it off it looks like I have a mild sunburn just where I had the mask. It's not painful and it eventually fades. (I use it at night and by morning it's gone) The book says that the sulfur mask is supposed to help with redness....
Has anyone else had this reaction???

It might be the eucalptyus in it. I have the Peter Thomas Roth one (he has two, one with eucalyptus and one without). The one with eucalyptus stings, and the one without doesn't. It has helped me a lot with redness, and also with exfoliation and oiliness.

Thanks Paula,

I didn't even know there was eucalyptus in it! I'll give the Peter Thomas Roth one a try. (sans Eucalyptus!)

Thanks again!

No problem! I found that one out the hard way. I bought the wrong PTR mask at first. The eucalyptus really stung - although no lasting effects. The one without is fine. We're both OS's so I hope that's it.
