I used head and shoulders shampoo 4 days ago and right after my facial skin felt burning, tight and irritated. i apply moisturizers but still irriated?

Ans: You have had a skin reaction to the shampoo. Do not use it anymore. Try gentle lotions or perhaps even some hydrocortisone cream to the face avoiding the eyes and the mouth. The skin will repair itself brakes a few days.
