hi! hi, gem, are you all right? despite using the same colour by the same brand, she said her skin changed after contracting coronavirus. so, you know, it was really itchy, really sore and, as it started to get worse, i was thinking, oh my goodness, i am actually reacting to this patch test. i felt a really hot, burning sensation behind my ear which progressively got worse, to the point where it had taken layers of skin from behind my ear. it was so, so painful and really scary, because i d never experienced anything like that before. in south east london, at charlotte barker s salon, one of her regular clients had a reaction so severe she had to call an ambulance. from the second i started applying, because her gown was slightly undone, ijust sort of noticed a rash creeping up her chest and then starting to creep upwards to her neck and then
