either use a hair removing cream or straight after waxing/shaving rub on some aloe vera! (this really works and it helps keep the redness away) it could be that you allergic to the things that you are currently using, hope this helps xxx

It's probably because that area's irritated. I'm guessing this is probably your first couple times waxing. Remember that for about 15-20 minutes, the area will have some redness. Here are some pointers:
Is the hair on your legs long enough? it should be about half an inch long or else the wax won't grip onto the hair as well.
Make sure you clean the area, but don't rub the skin because you'll just irritate it more.
Try switching to another brand.
If you shaved and there are red bumps ("like acne"), its probably just ingrown hair. To get rid of ingrown hair, try smoothing lotions (available at beauty stores or just CVS), or you can always use a tweezer.

Try putting lotion on right after. Like cocoa BUtter. OR use a different shaving cream..
