Hey there- do any of you have a good solution for the aftercare of waxing? I always end up breaking out and getting bumpy. It's especially hard in the "down there" areas, if you know what I mean. It always get's irritated and bumpy! Help!

Aloe Vera gel =) I wax my legs arms and underarms and what I do is first put oil everywhere and rub it in so that left over wax can come off. Then I place aloe Vera gel on really thickly for like 30 minutes, then wash it all off. exfoliate after 3 days, your skin is too sensitive before.

I always used to break out after I wax or thread my face! But I don't anymore! I use ice after I've waxed all over my face to close my pores so nothin can get in them and then I use baby powder repeatedly the whole day all over my face! It works!

When I wax my underarms I spray some 70% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on a cotton pad to remove any leftover wax and clean the area, and then I apply some lemon oil. It's a disinfectant so it prevents bacteria from building in the newly-vacant pores. I never get bumps under my arms after waxing anymore. For my bikini/Brazilian, I skip the alcohol and use some lemon oil mixed with a bit of coconut oil. The lemon disinfects while the coconut oil soothes and moisturizes.
