      I am not entirely sure if you would necessarily ‘burn’ your skin but I definitely wouldn’t recommend using it more than what is necessary as it can have harmful side effects. These often allergic skin reaction type conditions like hives, eczema, dermatitis, blisters. You could get an oedema (a build up of fluids under the skin) which is also dangerous. Continued use will also kill off the good bacteria our skin needs.
