Best thing to put on face to get rid of redness after waxing

Hi all, I am having my brows, lip and chin waxed tomorrow and my skin is always quite red afterwards. I need the redness to have gone by the next day so what is the best thing to put on to quell the redness? I know the woman on the Benefit counter used to put some sort of gel on it but i dont know what it was. Would love your suggestions. My skin is sensitive.

some aloe vera gel I think.

And it should be gone by next day naturally - but if not some concealer should work.

Steam cream Is amazing after I've waxed my eyebrows.

sudocreme is meant to be good for this.

Aloe Vera gel from Holland and Barratt - get the highest % of aloe you can (99% I think they do)

Also, apply cold compress when you get home (a few damp flannels - put them in fridge and apply to area until they loose the coldness). Do that a few times - it is fab for taking the heat out and quickly calming any redness.
