Waxing Q&A: How to Reduce the Redness After Waxing

I get waxed quite regularly and every time I always walk out with red bumps all over the area that was waxed. Any suggestions on how to reduce redness? I’ve heard tea tree oil and cold/hot compresses help, is this true?

Even regular waxers have to endure the embarrassing red bumps or patches.

The most common area to be effected by redness is the brow line. The skin on the face, and most especially around the eyes, is the most sensitive and delicate on the entire body; special care must be taken when waxing the brows, upper lip, etc. If you have fairer skin, you may tend to get what we call “pink eye shadow” or get blotches or bumps more readily than someone with darker skin. Keep in mind there are exceptions to this rule. But, also know that redness and bumps only last for a short time.

We try and help minimize the redness and bumps with Azulene oil, made of essential oils, lavender, sage, sandlewood. This wonderful smelling oil helps calm and soothe reddened skin after waxing.

A cold compress is a good option, as well. Cold will cause vasoconstriction, which narrows the blood vessels and slows the blood flow to an area. The cold compress will also help with inflammation if you’re feeling a little puffy after your wax.

Don't use a hot compress because it will do the opposite and, honestly, I don't think it will feel very good.

Cheers,

Alex

Red bumps is the main reason why people choose to go with laser hair removal. Many people do not enjoy the red bumps because they scream out that you just had a waxing. They make some people feel embarassed or uncomfortable. I agree that you shouldn't use heat to help get rid of the red bumps. Heat can had more red bumps that most people refer to as heat rash. A cold compress is you best option, but it can still take awhile before the red bumps are no longer visible. If you regulary have problems with red bumps it may be time to look into laser hair removal instead of waxing.

my favorite is laser hair removal to shave bikini lines. it is not safe to shave bikini lines with old fashioned razor. therefore my recommendation will be laser hair removal system. it is awesome modern technology.
