What Is The Natural Remedy For Red Patches On Upper Lip?

I just waxed my upper lip yesterday using veet wax strips.
and now it's burning lightly with slight red patches on the side of my lips.

Now tomorrow I have an event in school and I need to get rid of those marks as soon as possible so I don't look horrible tomorrow.
and I can't use make up tomorrow.
Only if you could tell me any natural remedy to get rid of it by today.

Pleaseeeee Help me Fastt.

Since you have to attend an event tomorrow, so likely home remedies to help with those red patches is/are:

1. If redness is associated, use of ice pack [make sure it is clothed] to the area will reduce the discomfort
2. Massage some tea tree oil, which helps reducing inflammation, and the easing of pain, and is perfect for taking the discomfort out of waxing.
3. apply calamine lotion, which cool and soothes the skin.
4. Avoid hot water bath tomorrow,as HOT tends to irritate the skin.
5. In Ayurveda rubbing of aloe vera gel is the most common way to reduce redness.
6. You may use over the counter antacids:which block production of histaminw and thus reduce redness/itchiness

PS. If Redness persists, after attending the event, make sure to visit your Doctor or Dermatologist
