| Hello i recently got my legs waxed and i think i have run into a little problem. I had my legs waxed on Friday at 5pm and its now Sunday Noon where i live. In that timespan between the wax and now ive had little white peels on my legs sort of like the peeling you get when you get sunburnt. Its just this stuff is a bit too small to actually peel off. What do you think is wrong? Also this was my first time being waxed. |

| Are you sure it is not left over residue from the wax or maybe the "cloth" that was used (if you had hot wax w. cloth removal)? or quite possible was the wax really hot and you have "sores" that look like peeling skin? Strange, because if it is truly peeling, that makes no sense, something is wrong...are your legs really dry? |

There is a lot of little sores that aren't visible until you get right up close but the peeling isn't all over. Its in random spots and its only small really so yes id go with the wax option. Whats a way to get rid of it because Ive thoroughly washed my legs with soap for the past two days and it doesn't seem to have made a difference(Only started the soap thing after i noticed the white peely stuff so i don't think it would be the soap). |

| Joel44, you said that you do have little sores that are not visible without getting up close, do you think that the white peels are part of the sores? or again maybe if you think they are really dry you should moisturize them really well |

Its really doubtful as the Sores are basically cluttered and even in places the peeling isn't in. The ratio of tiny red sores to peeling probably 10:1 lol. I applied moisturizer last night and this morning and there has been no real big impact. |

Unless the skin on your legs is very sore and painful, I would have tried dry brushing. It will help you getting rid of all remainders of wax, exfoliate skin, promote blood circulation and inhibit ingrown hairs when hairs are starting to grow back.  |
