Skin is irritated and flakey.

Hey beauties... I recently purchased a waxing kit a couple weeks ago and used it, followed all the directions and there is a patch on my face that's all red and irritated... It likes to peel too! Can anyone help me make this go away??
I guess when I waxed this area it took some of my skin off with it :(

Ouch! You probably shouldn't use it again, I used one once and it peeled a layer of my skin 😂
You might have sensitive skin?

I would exfoliate before and after and deffinitly put a moisturiser on afterwards!

Personally, my favorite product to exfoliate is Yes to! Tomatoes. It's only $6-10 and it is super gentle but leaves your skin so smooth! I get mine at target. I'd recommend using that. Hope you feel better :)

I think instead of scrubbing it more and possibly irritating it more try to moisturize the area with a good vitamin e or aloe Vera gel, I find when I moisturize dry patches a lot my skin "repairs" faster, and the dry peeling part comes off faster and the underneath is healthy since you used lots of moisturizer :)
