Help! Back pimples

My partner recently got his back waxed, and now his back has broken out in pimples and is quite congested. Just wondering what he can do and what products might help! Thanks

    Make sure you wash your back every time you get sweaty and let your skin breathe. Use a coffee scrub to exfoliate

    Go to a dermatologist.

    I get those on my face or legs after i wax. On my face i use toner aftewards and i dont put moisturiser straight away. I exfoliate my legs and wherever i shave/wax, every couple of days so the pores dont get blocked. Use a gentle soap and moisturiser.

    Oh no! The poor thing. This used to happen to me every single time I got an eyebrow wax (Frida Kahlo style natural monobrow here).

    I found that using a toner on the area after waxing helped close up the pores a bit and stopped them getting so full of gunk. Drinking lots and lots of water never hurts either.

    Whatever you do, make sure whatever you put on his back is as gentle as possible. His poor skin is already irritated as all getout. I’d go for super gentle formulas and stay away from the harsh no-frills soap that boys usually use. (My fella loves his Imperial Leather soap, no matter what I tell him about how harsh it is on my skin…)

    Hope it clears up soon!
