What Causes White Patch On Skin After Applying Facial Hair Removal?

Hi, I m a female, and I am very self concious about my facial hair, basically my sideburns, my hairs are very dark, and very visible and yesterday I used the Nair hair removal cream on my sideburns, but now I seem to have a white patch on my face? What does this mean? And how long will it take to heal? I mean would it even heal?
