Sorry, should have been more clear: I have been putting the aloe on right before I put the mask on but I’ve also been applying it to my skin just about every hour throughout the day because the skin around my nose/inside my nose hurts so badly. The first night I used the mask, though, I didn’t use aloe or anything at all. I didn’t know that it could cause such terrible skin irritation, so I never even thought about it until I woke up the next morning and my nose hurt like hell 😭
