how to close pores after waxing
Hello, Haven! I just got a waxing done today, and I'm worried about my open pores. Is there a way to close them more quickly?
Hello! After waxing, it's common for pores to be open because of the hair follicle removal process. There are a few steps you can follow to help close them more quickly. Such as, applying a cold compress to the waxed area. This helps reduce inflammation and encourages the pores to close.
Interesting. Do I apply the cold compress immediately after waxing?
Yes, that would be ideal. The sooner you apply a cold compress after waxing, the better. Keep the compress on the area for around 10 to 15 minutes.
Alright, anything else I can do to close the pores?
Certainly. Avoid showering in hot water for the next 24 hours as it will keep the pores open. Massaging a soothing lotion that contains aloe vera over the waxed area may also help as aloe vera has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Lastly, wearing loose clothing helps prevent friction and irritation which can keep pores open.
