    Just Waxed. Real bad Breakout

    I just waxed my back 2days ago at a spa. Lady said I shouldnt break out because it was all organic, but my back says otherwise

    What should I apply to the area??? Should I tan?

    It's not necessarily a breakout its just a rash like razor burn. Alot of moisturizer and baby powder.
    The exact reason why I no longer wax/nair my back. Bodygroom is my new best friend.

    when you wax you open your skin to alot of germs.

    It might be a rash, sure, but most probably is a break out. DON'T TAN it aggrivates it.

    Best bet is before you wax - exfoliate

    After you have waxed, dab tea tree oil over the area to wash it clean.

    The next day you should keep the area clean with a medical antisceptic but don't burn it - coz again it can irritate the area.

    By exfoliating before a wax you get rid of ingrown hairs - which cause bumps
    By keeping it clean after waxing you minimise dirt and germs building up under the skin causing 'cysts' that are really just your body fighting the germs

    How long before I should tan? Its very unsightly, i figured a tan would clear it up a little.

    If you are naturally brown you can tan pretty much straight away.

    If you aren't, take it easy coz you can irritate the skin making your condition worse - so build your tan gradually.

    Don't forget to keep the area clean, and exfoliated before you wax next time.
