Regrowth after veet....so itchy

So, had to do a bit of trimming in my lady garden for a Dr appointment. Previously shaving has caused terrible razor burn, ingrown hairs etc. I prefer to wax,but only after a few glasses a bottle of wine! As I was short of time I decided to veet the offending area.

Seemed smooth enough at the time, but next morning felt a bit prickly. Whilst shopping later in the day it became unbearably itchy, to the point where I would have happily sat naked in the frozen veg freezer.

Ironically, my shaved legs are still lovely and smooth! I've been exfoliating day and night, in a hope to coax the hairs under the skin out. I feel like I've sat on a cactus and the only relief I get is walking round the house with my knickers like a thong and my legs wide open.

Do I just have to grin, bear it and wait for it to grow back, or are there any magic cures?

Deodorant will sooth is immediately and help with the healing and ingrowing hairs. Probably best not to use a spray though.

You can apply as often as you like. Mens deo is not a good idea.

Thank you! Much better now. Def going for the wine and wax option next time!
