Beauty Question: How Do You Minimize Redness After Waxing?

Usually, I try to get waxed either after work on the weekends -- times when I can hide my reddened face in a cab and my apartment. Because, while I love my clear, pale skin, it gets LOBSTER RED every time I wax my brows.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I had to schedule my (long overdue) wax appointment for the middle of the day today. And while I am in love with the fabulous job Vera at Bliss did (seriously, best brows ever), I was red for about 2 hours afterward! And yes, people at work looked at me strangely.

So my Beauty Question is this. How do you minimize redness after waxing? Let me know your remedies and tricks in the comments!
