Today, I decided to use an at-home waxing kit for the first time to get rid of the hair on my upper lip. After experiencing the trauma of waxing, I fell asleep. A few hours later, I woke up to see that I now have acne everywhere I had waxed. I have an acne mustache. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had my back waxed to deal with the uncontrollable hair growth. Afterwards, I broke out in numerous pimples where the hair used to be. Basically, a lose-lose situation. FML
Today, I realized that my boyfriend really does have a problem with my upper-lip hair. I woke up this morning to him ripping a wax strip off of my face. All he could say after I stopped shrieking was that he had hoped it wouldn't wake me up. FML
Today, I wanted to look really good for my date. I was a little self-conscious, so I decided to use Nair on my upper lip just in case I had a female mustache. Unfortunately, it turns out I'm allergic to Nair. Now I DO have a mustache. A rash mustache. FML
Today, I tried to bleach my upper lip hair. I now have a bright red mustache. FML
Today, I waxed my upper lip hair. My boyfriend later told me that he missed my mustache rubbing onto his. FML
Today, I decided to wax my own eyebrows with a Do It Yourself kit from the pharmacy. I'm now missing half of my right eyebrow. FML
Today, I wanted to remove my mustache hair with hot wax. The hair is still there, but my skin is all burnt dark brown. Tomorrow is my first day at school. FML
Today, I decided to wax my eyebrows. My entire eyebrow came off. FML
Today, I went to the hair salon to cut 6 inches off my hair. When I got there, I decided to get my upper lip waxed for the first time. When my boyfriend came to pick me up for our date, I asked if he noticed anything different about me, the first thing he said was, "I see you got rid of your mustache." FML
Today, I was getting my chest waxed. The woman dipped the stick into the wax and hit her elbow, making wax fall into my eyes. FML

Buy a ACME mustache to put over your acne mustache. Meep Meep.

It's probably just a reactant phase. Acne don't develop in hours. You will get better soon! :)

when it comes to waxing with new ingredients try a small amount in a non visual area in case of allergies.

Op when it goes away go to a salon or just try plucking it ether way I hope this helps.

Even if you got it professionally done you would have the acne. When you wax a part of your face all the crap and dirt gets pulled out and your pores are wide open for acne! Put on some concealer and wait a few days it should improve!

I started tweezing when I was in high school, and it worked well. The first few times I had a red spot, but it soon stopped, and makeup helped cover it up. I only had to do it every two weeks. Then when I went on the truck with my husband I started shaving out of laziness. It wasn't noticeable at all, I just have to do it more often.

That's not acne it's an irritation rash. Next time use cocoa butter or Aquaphor directly afterwards to prevent this.

wipe the area with an alcohol pad after you're done. It helps clean out the pores and you'll get minimal acne of any.

I didn't realize how many teenage girls and women in their 20s and 30s wax, shave, or pluck their upper lips.
