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?

No need to worry, take rest and have patience those rashes could be due to Allergic reaction, stay hydrated and do not do both at the same time.

I've recently noticed that my forehead is getting really tan, and I realized I've never really paid much attention to my skincare until now. I'm 24 and have started using a Himalaya walnut scrub, neem face wash, and kesar face pack for about a month. I can see some improvement on my cheeks but not on my forehead. Also, since I started using the neem face wash, I get a lot of pimples. They seem to clear up after using the face wash, but new ones just pop up in different places. What can I do to get rid of the tan on my forehead and prevent these pimples?

You are suffering with Acne Vulgaris this needs a course of antibiotics and vitamin A supplements,visit DERMATOLOGIST for the same and for tan removal you can try with CO2 laser treatment

I'm wondering if it's safe to use hair removal cream to get rid of pubic hair. Has anyone tried VWash hair removal cream for this? Or maybe there's another product that's better for completely removing pubic hair? I'm a bit concerned about the safety and effectiveness, and would love to hear from someone with some expertise or experience!

Yes you can use it no problem
