Itchiness after wax.

Consistent or minor skin irritation is a common concern after waxing. Your first instinct may be to scratch or even run to the doctor. Before you do that, let us explain a few reasons why your skin may seem angry with you.

Ingrown Hair

Folliculitis: Those tiny white bumps that pop up? Yep, that’s folliculitis sneaking in when bacteria decides to crash the party and invade your pores. It usually happens if aftercare isn’t followed to the T. But no worries! A lightweight serum or a bit of soothing Aloe Vera can save the day by creating a protective barrier.

Dry Skin: Keeping your skin moisturized between waxes is a total game-changer! Without it, you might end up feeling tight, flaky, and dealing with that annoying post-wax itch. So, lotion up, babe!

Ingrown Hairs: Nobody likes these pesky bumps! They happen when hair decides to take a detour and grow back into the skin, creating an irritated little bump. Not cute—but totally avoidable with proper care.

Histamine: If you see red bumps or hives after your wax, don’t freak out! That’s just your skin throwing a mini-tantrum over the hair being yanked from the follicle. This histamine reaction usually calms down within 48 hours. You’ve got this!
