Inflammation/bumps after wax- article

[Anna from Toronto]

Amazing article I just came across!
It explains why skin gets red after waxing, why people can get hives/welts/pustules
Must read:
Why Inflammation Occurs with Waxing

What is interesting to me about this article is that it advocates the use of using heat afterwards.Which is something we were taught to do years ago which never made much sense to me.We would put an infra red lamp over our clients who had just had electrolysis.

Yes. That is interesting! I'm gonna try it on myself (i do get few little pustules on my lip/chin but no redness) and on my friend who gets red/hives after wax. Will report back

Sort of staying on topic ... if you eat a very hot curry which was burning your mouth you would normally think to reach for a cold drink of water.

In actual fact if you drink hot water it will be a hundred times more effective!

Interesting eh.
