Hi
i got so many small and itching pimples on my face after 2 days of face waxing what should i do i m very much upset because of them

Aww the same used to happen to me. So I stopped waxing my face. The best thing to do is leave it, and it does clear up after a few days. Its best to bleach, thread or laser your face.

Hope it clears up soon xx

Use a "cooling" toner right after threading/waxing.. one with aloe or cucumber, watermelon or green tea. Even regular rosewater works! It seals the open pores and prevents breakouts...

Ice, aloe, and rosewater/glycerine toner helped me a lot.

Wax at night b4 u sleep.

Aloe is excellent to use straight after waxing. Remove trace bits of wax with a cotton wool pad soaked in baby oil. Then CLEANSE, TONE and MOISTURISE. It really does make a difference. I don't usually cleanse and tone, but do after waxing. Add a drop or 2 of tea tree oil to your moisturiser at this time too. It will help keep pimples down.

A stylist that used to work at the hair salon I go to also does waxing, but it seems that it's a technique that she's not too crazy about. She said the trouble with waxing is that it removes the upper layer of your skin. So, make sure you wear sunscreen/sunblock when you outside because your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after waxing.

^thats y i never do wax on face


After you've waxed, apply aloe gel, eye gel. or a face oil—but first check out the ingredients, and make sure never to apply any product with alpha- or beta-hydroxyl acid to freshly waxed skin.

Probably because you didnot exfoliate or do regular facials to clean the skin.

The wax pulled all the congestion out and now thats resulting in a breakout.

Wax usually just "attaches" to the hair.. but if u don't seal u're pores after u wax, gunk gets into them and the next time u splash cold water the gunk remains inside and flares-up into a full fledged pimple.

ask the person who waxes your face to use that red light thing( dont know what its called) on your face after the wax, it kills bacteria and you wont get pimples. Its usually used after facials. It worked for me. try a test patch 1st , this way your whole face wont get affected

what in the world is a face wax?

^ It's either wax or sugaring!

isn't it annoying when the hair starts to grow back? doesnt it look odd?

simply go for bleaching or threading..... why get into so much hassle

I have the same problem and i could not do it but the end result is so worth it that i can deal with a few days of small pimples. They usually disappear after a max of one week.
