Hi!! Redness and cracking seen after using wax strips on the face is due irritation caused due to pulling of hair from its follicles. Ask your daughter to use some good moisturizer on her face frequently and apply mild steroid like clobetasone (eumosone) on the cracked and peeled area for few days. This will surely resolve her problem.Hope for her speedy recovery.
