post wax acne/folliculitis

I recently waxed off ky facial hair with cold wax. My skin was fine for 2 days but then on the third day I woke up with a face full of pus filled bumps which were later diagnosed as folliculitis ( inflammation + infection of hair follicles) . Do you guys wax your facial hair ? What is your post wax care ?

I don't like to was my facial hair at all, I use an epilator for my upper lip but leave the rest of it alone just because I have super sensitive skin and don't want to risk anything >~< when my skin used to react to upper lip waxes I used to put pawpaw on the area and that helped, not sure if it's something that would help in the case but putting a protective barrier on the area just calmed it down and then I worked on further calming with centella and then hydrating and repairing the skin ^^ I think kai has some good recommendations :3
