    Default Oww red from waxing

    I just waxed my underarms really badly and didn't put enough pressure on so now they are all red and sore

    I have to go out tonight so does anybody have any advice to get rid of the redness?

    Try witch hazel. I apply it atleast twice a day for a few days after waxing. You could also mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a spoonful of witch hazel and apply with a cotton ball. The tea tree oil has antibiotic properties that will benefit you if your skin is infected at all.

    Thanks for the ideas. I could have used witch hazel because I have some in my cupboard but I didn't even think of it. I'll remember it if there's ever a next time. (They were fine this morning too when I got up.)

    Tea tree oil probably wouldn't work for me though because I'm allergic to it and break out in a rash if I get some on my skin. Might defeat the purpose a bit haha
