Breakouts after waxing on face

2017-10-14 09:15:25
I waxed my face two days back. Started having redness, breakouts, pimples and itching right after. Happened the last tome I did as well. However, on using gentle face cleanser and alovera gel and oil, it was gone. This time its all over my face and shows no sign going. Please help!!
