I used a peel off face mask 6 days ago and within a couple of days my skin started feeling really dry now my face feels like its burning could this be a reaction to face mask I have never had problems before with any products

Definitely sounds like you had a reaction.

Have you used any products on your face since you applied the mask?

Nothing new only use bare minerals make up but the burning only started about 5 days after using face mask I
Thought if it was a reaction to that it would flare up immediately.

I agree. I didn't know it wasn't until 5 days after using it that you flared up. Sorry if you wrote that in your original post and I missed it.

I've used bare minerals. I had a reaction to it, and had to stop using it. Could it be the makeup?

Bottom line is this, I do believe you had a reaction to something, and I believe you are continuing to have a reaction, which means that it's most likely something you're still using. It's not necessarily the makeup, it could be soap, a skin cream, laundry detergent, perfume, hair spray, anything. It would be very difficult to pin down what's causing this, I would start with any new products you're using.

Even if you go to a dermatologist, or an allergy specialist, they won't be able to tell you, just by looking at you, what's causing this, if it's a reaction to a product you're using. They'll ask you to eliminate certain things, and see if your condition improves, stays the same, or gets worse.

I would see a doctor to rule out something other than an allergic reaction. If it is an allergic reaction, they'll likely refer you to a specialist.

Good luck.

Best advice is stop using anything until the reaction clears up. Light soap and water. Keep it clean. Don't use any astringents > Let your skin rest.

It could be stress related, it could be something in your new home, or one of the new hair and shower products you're using. I would eliminate the new products you're using and see if that helps. If not, it may be something in your home. But I would see your doctor just to rule out other possibilities.
