I recently had my first-ever full-body wax and followed it up with an oil massage. When I looked up post-waxing care, I realized I shouldn't have gone for the massage. During it, my body felt really warm. Now I'm kind of freaking out because I've still got rashes and redness on my arms and chest, and the pores on my legs seem open. Is this because of the massage I did after waxing? I'm really worried about what's going on with my skin. What should I do?
