How long the itching from hair re-growth after waxing lasts?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Just to give you a bit more context, I am a male and I am 27 years old.
I went for an almost full-body wax about 1,5 weeks ago.
The days after the waxing my skin was a feeling a bit too sensitive (which is pretty reasonable after a wax) but nothing annoying actually.
However, 2 days now my legs (and only my legs for some reason) are feeling very very itchy.
It does not feel like that all the time but there are many moments throughout the day where I have been feeling like being pinched by thousand needles at my legs which is very very discomforting.
A cream with Aloe Vera and Lavender oil that I have did not help actually much - I do not know why.
However, since yesterday I apply (raw) coconut oil on my legs and they are actually pretty good although sometimes I feel the same discomforting sensation.
So I am wondering when this sensation will stop and I won't have to apply anything on my legs but they will still feel fine?
Will it be like that only for the next 1-2 days or it will be like that for the next 1-2 weeks?

Its the hair follicles healing after having the hair ripped out, any emollient cream is good for this sort of thing.Lavender oil can be quite irritating as you have found.

Thank you but by the way my question was not on what to apply but "So I am wondering when this sensation will stop and I won't have to apply anything on my legs but they will still feel fine?" haha.

In fact, it is very strange to feel itchy. But in my opinion, this is all hair growth and this feeling should take up to 7 days. What is the condition of your skin on your feet without oil? Is it dry? can it peel?
