Question

also to make it worse i have to go to the beach tomorrow! and the hair didnt even go away, what do i do???

Answer 1

If you used the Nair Lotions, You may have left them on to long causing a chemical burn. Make sure to wash you legs VERY throughly ( I cant spell sorry) to get all of the remaining chemicals off. Then apply a moisturizing lotion and possibly a topical antiseptic depending on the severity
You may have had an allergic reaction, if it is severe go see the doctor tomorrow, if not just wash it and LEAVE IT.
Or if y ou waxed it just may be the skins reaction to it, no worries its quite common you might want to re-consider waxing and try shaving or get it done professionally. This should fix it self within a couple of hours just put on some moisturizing lotion.

Answer 2

Hah I get that all the time damn sensitive skin hah what I do is after I wash off the nair I then use a bar of soap with a washcloth even if its to sore for that to make sure it gets all the nair out of any possible pore.. after I do that I pat dry my legs and apply a collegen, vitamin E rich mosturizer I use the one by St. Eves myself usually by that evening its no longer noticeable.

Answer 3

It says on the bottle to test it on a small patch of unnoticable skin to see if you are allergic, you obviously didn't heed that. I believe you can use mashed aloe. I don't think it will be gone by tommorrow. Sorry.

Answer 4

take benydryl and put some cortizone on affected area. the chemicals in it may be too strong for you. maybe with the 2, you can get rid of the redness and shave.

Answer 5

that nair cream or whatever u use cause an allergic eaction.. you should put some aloe vera ..this thing works wonders..

Answer 6
