I still could feel my skin but it was a little numb to the pressure. It didn't completely feel natural. I thought it was because I slept on my side at first but then when I touched my other side it felt the same. I still could walk normally but I was really worried. The numbness got better the next morning but it came back at night. Today is the 3rd day that I got the vaccine and I still can feel the very mild numbness on my face, specially the left side of the face and lips.( I got vaccinated on the left arm as well.)
