Hi everyone...so about a week ago, I tried to do my own brow waxing with the peel off wax at home. I had used at home wax once or twice before without incident, on my lip. The stuff I bought said it could be used all over the face. Anyway...I noticed that the area I waxed got a little red/irritated right after...which is normal after you wax right? Except it stayed that way a couple of days even after I gently cleansed it, etc. Then the redness went away and it wasn't too irritated for a couple of days. But now the irritated feeling is back (with only a slight bit of redness) and it feels like the skin there is about to peel (when I tried to put e/s on today it was super dry and 'grainy'). I do admit this week I have been out in the sun more than my usual (I was on vacation) so that may have added to it as well...though I am not sunburned anywhere. I put SPF 80 all over my face lol while on vacay, without incident...no pain.
Tonight I tried to put on a gentle moisturizer tonight in that eye area, and it felt like I was pouring acid on it.....owwww!
Anyway...any recommendations on how/if to treat this irritation? Or is the best thing to just let it go away on its own?
