What is the recommended course of action if skin is inflamed?

In the case of inflamed skin, the recommended action is to refrain from applying any waxing products altogether. This is because waxing can further irritate and damage already inflamed skin, potentially leading to increased discomfort, adverse reactions, or even skin damage. Active inflammation can also result from various underlying skin conditions or allergic reactions, and it's crucial to allow the skin to calm down before any hair removal procedure is attempted.

Using a soothing gel, applying wax as normal, or using a cold compress might provide temporary relief or numbness, but they do not address the underlying issue of inflammation. Waxing on inflamed skin can exacerbate problems and is not advisable. Therefore, delaying the waxing procedure until the inflammation has subsided is the best and safest course of action, ensuring that the skin remains healthy and free from unnecessary irritation.
