3 Natural Ways To Soothe Skin Burns After A Waxing Session

Waxing is a commonly used hair removal treatment because it pulls the hair out of the follicle. This allows the waxed areas to remain hair free for weeks. However, waxing comes with its own set of risks. Depending on the thickness and temperature of the wax used, a waxing session can result in burns to the skin. As a result, the burns will often result in an enormous amount of pain and discomfort. Luckily, there are a few natural remedies that you can use in order to alleviate some of the pain.

Apply Willow Bark Tea to the Area

Willow bark contains salicin, an anti-inflammatory agent that is used to soothe various types of pain. It is commonly used in aspirin because of its ability to reduce pain and aches. You can reap the benefits of the willow bark by infusing it into a cup of hot water to create a tea. Dip a clean cloth into the tea until it is fully submerged. Once the cloth is submerged, remove it and squeeze out any excess tea. You can apply this tea to the areas of your body that have been burned or aggravated by the wax.

Apply Aloe Vera Gel to the Area

Aloe vera gel has long been used to soothe burns and heal any wounds because it contains compounds that reduce pain and inflammation. In order to use the gel on your burns, you can get a fresh aloe vera plant from your local grocery store. Once you open up the plant, you will be able to extract the gel and apply it to your wounds. In order to get the best results, you should apply the gel in the morning and night.

Apply Chamomile Oil to the Area

Chamomile oil is often used as a relaxant in order to soothe any aches and pains that your body may be experiencing. The oil contains anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties that are ideal for providing pain-relief. In order to use the oil, it should be rubbed gently into rub the affected areas. The longer you rub in the oil the better your skin will absorb the healing properties. The chamomile oil should be applied in the morning and at night in order to get the best results.
