What to apply after waxing-I prefer using a b5 serum or a light moisturizer. You dont want to clog the pores with a thick cream, and the softness of the hair growth allow the hairs to grow out smoothly. Some people use powder a day after the bikini or Brazilian procedure. You don't want to do this right after because you dont want to clog pores, and you'll need time for the area to heal. If You have inflammation, don't use a warm compress, use an ice pack. Don't use chemical exfoliants.
