How to prevent this irritation?

[Anonymous]

Ok so I have brazilian waxed before but when I do ...the day after I get tiny tiny white heads down there and I obviously stopped brazilian wax cause of it...well after I wax it I do put back on my fit undies and skinny jeans...is that the reason for irritation...what can I do for my brazilian wax to stay irritation free and smooth?

A few tips:

For the first day or so, try to wear cotton undies and loose clothing/pjs.

Toner (witch hazel, for example) can help to prevent ingrown hairs, keep your pores unclogged and reduce the buildup of bacteria.

Exfoliate when you're in the shower to get rid of any dead skin cells.

Try some hydrocortisone cream and/or take some ibuprofen to reduce swelling and stop it from getting itchy/sore/irritated.

Baby powder does wonders for me, since too much moisture down there can really aggravate sensitive skin (especially after waxing)... And it keeps everything feeling soft, fresh and smooth down there.

If you see an ingrown hair that's struggling to come out, grab a pair of tweezers and a sterile needle and pluck it out.

Um... That's all I can think of!
