Re: Please help! (waxing reaction)
I am so sorry to hear about that. I don't know what you can do to make them go away. Was this the 1st time that you did this. Maybe it might be a 1st time recation. Maybe the Spa has answers as to why this happened. I wish I had an answer.

It usually takes a bit of time for your skin to calm down. Some people are over it in an hour or so, and some people (myself included) need a day or more. Sally beauty supply sells some post-waxing lotions.

Yes it was the first time I did it. The funny thing is I did it on Sept 8th and the bumps appeared on the 15th!!!!!

salicylic acid!! that will definitely help - always works for me! you can buy them in clearasil wipes or something like that.

There is something called TendSkin that they sell in Sephora.
It works!! They use it in most of the upscale waxing salons....its a little pricey (18 bucks for a smallish bottle) but FH can use it on razor burn as well.

Neosporin, too. I'm the same way. I never get my brows waxed, just tweezed and last week I was talking into it. Now, I have a breakout. It's an inflammed hair follicle. Tend skin helps exfoliate the skin to open it up. Neosporin will help the redness and get rid of any infection.
