Hello again :)
so last week Friday I waxed my top lip using wax strips. Everything was totally fine and I went out that night and didn't have a problem, no issue on Saturday either. However, on Sunday after having a shower I looked in the mirror and noticed that all over my top lip were these little red bumps (sort of like spots). I trawled the Internet trying to find solutions and everything that I read said it would clear up in a few days - its now been a week and nothing has changed. Apparently Witch Hazel is the way to go, except that I can't buy it here (South Africa) and so in desperation I'm appealing to anyone who's has the same experience and has a remedy? Would be brilliant to find a solution that wasn't uber expensive too :)
Thanks a million xx

I don't know, I would try aloe vera straight from the plant to soothe it.

As it has been a week it might be a good idea to consult a doctor. If it is an allergic reaction an antihistamine could help - it would at least confirm it. You could try coconut oil if the aloe doesn't clear it up.
