POST WAXING BREAK OUT

I had my face waxed a few days ago, and woke up the next day to discover what looked like a massive acne attack. I applied a mud mask to try to extract what was in these bumps, just to find that there was really nothing to extract. It is NOT acne, or small pimples. After my husband and I thoroughly checked my skin, we discovered that it really looked a lot more like a rash, almost that of Poison Ivy, (which my face was VERY itchy as well), and decided to just nuture my skin, rather than trying to strip it! I started washing my face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, following an application of a great skin conditioning oil, and woke up the next day with some improvents. My bumps had almost completely vanished by day two of doing this routine. I wish I would have figured this out at the beginning instead of scrubbing my face for the first two days, and then applying harsh antibacterial/drying products on my precious skin.
At least next time I will know exactly what to do from the beginning...
