My skin is really sensative. Every time I get my eyebrows waxed I always end up with red bumps that turn into what looks like tiny little pimples...anyone know what causes this or how I can avoid this??

Since you have sensitive skin, don't use anything irritating. Try a face cream for sensitive skin or Aloe. Put some on right a way, then before going to bed. I use an Aloe blend and by morning the swelling and redness are gone.

There are waxes out there for sensitive skin. Go to Sally's beauty supply & check some out. Also, make sure the area you are waxing is cleaned before you wax & use a little corn starch. Don't coat the area white or anything, just a little & pat it after you applied it. The corn starch helps the wax to stick to the hair & not the skin. After waxing, use a wax remover & than some soothing product like aloe vera. Good Luck.

Hello. The bumps you are experiencing are known as "razor bumps". There are many products on the market that are designed to eliminate, or reduce razor bumps and ingrown hairs (scientifically known as Pseudofolliculitis Barbae) that may result after waxing or shaving.
I suggest checking out my Shaving Tips page at: www.shavinghouse.com/shavingtips.htm, here you will find helpful tips on shaving and waxing, and products that you can try for free to determine what works best for you.
Good luck and Happy Shaving!

you are not alone as everyone i know gets the same thing after waxing. try applying ice for short periods and see if that doesnt help reduce the red bumps a bit.

Use an antiseptic right after waxing. And use ice instead of the benzocaine lotion, this clogs your pores

aloe helps the burning and a lotion will cool and moisturize the skin.
Aloe feels amazing immediately afterwards. They do it at my cousin's beauty shop.

Lotion for the face seems to help me. Maybe if its from swelling Ice might help.

Use an astringent shortly after.
