After waxing, it is important to take care of your skin to avoid irritation and bumps. Here are some tips on what to apply after waxing:

Dos:

• Apply a post-depilatory lotion to remove waxy residue, soothe the skin, and avoid red bumps and ingrown hairs. Look for products that contain natural ingredients like aloe vera, tea tree oil, chamomile, and shea butter.
• Wear loose clothing made of natural fibers like cotton to avoid sweat and friction, which might increase the risk of irritation or infection.
• Exfoliate and moisturize your skin two to three days after waxing to enhance its natural softness and accelerate the healing process. Use gentle and non-comedogenic products that do not contain heavy oils or other pore-clogging ingredients.
• Apply a cold compress to reduce inflammation and irritation.
• Apply aloe vera gel for at least five days after your waxing session to quickly reduce inflammation and enhance the natural healing process.

Donts:

• Expose your skin to sunlight immediately after waxing. Shield your waxed legs and arms from the sunlight for at least 48 hours after treatment.
• Use harsh soaps to cleanse your skin. Consider formulas with butters and creams with natural ingredients instead.
• Use perfumed oils and creams that might cause irritation, rashes, and allergic breakouts.
• Sweat and bacteria on your pores. Sweat is probably the most common cause of irritation and infection after waxing.

Remember to follow the advice of your professional wax specialist and consult with a board-certified dermatologist for a routine that suits your skin type and concerns.
