anyone get broken out after waxing?

[ralphlauren]

i got my brows and upper lip waxed on saturday and now I am a broken out mess...ugh

I feel so gross. What can I use and what should i do to prevent this in the future?

Are they little white heads?

If so, I don't think it's a break out per se, it's been explained to me that it's kind of an allergic reaction to the wax.

I get my brow/lip waxed every four weeks and it still happens sometimes.

Yes I can't wax my eyebrows, I always breakout in those little bumps. Maybe try threading? I just tweeze now.

I can't wax my eyebrows either because of the breakouts. I can do my lip but I still wait til the end of the day just in case I do get a reaction from it. I think it has to do with the type of wax used, because one place I now go to I never have a problem with the lip. But I won't do my brows, I prefer to just tweeze them. I do recommend threading though.

This. I got my girl to use a different type of wax and I've had no problems. I don't know what it's called but its black in color.... next time I go I'll ask.

I use tea tree oil after. immediately.

Then a gentle scrub and post wax gel for a few days after. It seems to help.
