If you are dealing with constant irritation or irritation after waxing, then these natural methods can help:
Sugar Scrub: A simple home-made sugar scrub can help alleviate irritation and prevent the formation of ingrown hairs. All you have to do is mix half a cup of sugar with half a cup of coconut or olive oil. Apply a small amount on the affected area and gently cleanse in a circular motion.
Aloe vera: If you have an aloe vera plant, all you need to do to take advantage of its nutritional value is to get a portion of its leaf. Apply the plant essence directly to the affected area and gently massage the mass into your skin to soothe the inflammation. You can do this up to three times a day.
Tea Tree Essential Oil: Tea tree oil can also soothe depilated skin. The oil is more likely to clog pores on the first day or two after waxing, so use this oily remedy for an irritation of your skin. You should dilute the tea tree essential oil with a carrier, such as olive or coconut oil, before applying it to your skin. Add 10 drops of carrier oil for every 1 drop of tea tree oil.
Keep in mind: Test for allergies with a diluted piece of tea tree oil on your arm. If there is no reaction within 24 hours, it means you can use it without any problem. You can apply the diluted solution to the affected area up to three times a day.
Apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is another natural antiseptic with positive effects on skin irritations. Put apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball and apply on the skin up to three times a day to accelerate the effect.
Immediately after waxing:
Apply a cold compress or take a cool shower to reduce irritation and tenderness. Avoid hot baths or showers.
Wear loose clothing to avoid friction and irritation.
Avoid perfumed products and creams, which can irritate the skin.
Avoid excessive activity for 24 hours after waxing. Sweat can irritate newly depilated skin.
One to two days after waxing:
Continue to wear loose clothing to reduce friction.
Continue to avoid scented oils and creams. You can apply a mild gel, such as aloe vera, to help soften the skin as needed.
