Redness on face after waxing

[ItHasANiceRingWhenYouLaugh]

I had various bits of my face waxed today and now it is red. This is why I usually just tweeze at home. The lady said not to apply anything else today, like makeup, as the pores are open and it could lead to infection, but I really don't want to do the school run later looking like this. I have acne scarring and usually cover it up properly before going anywhere.

What can I do? Aloe vera gel, cold flannels, what?

Will revert to tweezing after this.

The redness will have gone by this afternoon, although aloe will be fine to apply.

I use zit cream usually, it stops me from getting infected pores and calms redness at the same time...

Thanks, both. I will put some aloe on.

Ice?

The redness went away on its own. My skin is not great but it is okay for the school run.
