Hi all,
Need some advice.
I had my first back and chest wax on Thursday evening at a local clinic, and the lady who did it was not very clear on the aftercare.
I have tried calling them back, but typically, they are now closed until next week.
She said that on the next morning, (Friday morning, (yesterday)), I should have a lukewarm shower, which I did yesterday.
However, today, I seem to have quite a few small red spots over the upper back and shoulders. Apparently, this is normal for first timers and is to be expected.
This morning, I gently exfoliated in the shower with lukewarm water and Dove Body Moisturising Creme, (which the lady who did my wax said was fine to use), using a new, clean bodywash mitt.
My only question now is that is there anything else I need to use?
I popped out to a chemist today, and also bought E45 Moisturising Lotion, an AfterWax lotion which contains Aloe Vera and a few other bits, and also Tee Tree Oil with WitchHazel cleansing and toning lotion. I have not used any of these yet.
The waxed areas do still feel a bit sore and still red in places.
So I am not sure if I should put any of the above on the waxed areas, or do I need to wait the full 48 hours, which will be up this evening. Which order should I use the above?
Thanks in advance!
