PRE/POST CARE

For the best technique and results,dermatologists recommend the following tips for pre waxing and post waxing.It’s important that you follow these recommendations for maximum results!!

PREPARE

  • Ensure optimal hair length.you should have 1/4 inch (.635 cm) of hair in the area you want to wax. Waxing will be more painless and effective if you wait long enough to wax.Also If there’s not at least 1/4 inch of hair.the wax can’t grab it!
  • Ditch the Razor.shaving causes your hair to grow back in different direction and to grow in thicker.Waxing pulls the hair from the root.The hair grows back in the same direction and thinner.By ditching the razor your wax experience will actually become less painful.
  • Exfoliate your skin.Before your appointment, exfoliate in the shower to remove dead skin and lift trapped hair.
  • Freshly washed skin is best.Oily skin can prevent the wax from adhering, leaving behind some stray hairs. Plus, by removing all traces of make-up and sweat from your skin, there will be less chance of irritation after the treatment.Remember to dry your skin thoroughly with a clean towel, as wax won’t stick to damp skin. We recommend washing your waxing area around an hour or so before the wax so that it will be completely dry for the treatment.

AFTER CARE

  • Places to avoid.We recommend that you avoid gyms, saunas and steam rooms for at least 48 hours after your waxing treatment. Working up a sweat before the hair follicles have closed properly can lead to irritated skin. Similarly, stay away from sunbeds and UV exposure, as the heat can clog the follicles and cause redness and bumps.
  • Calm your skin.Apply Aloe Vera gel to the skin for a cool, soothing effect. Aloe Vera will help to rehydrate the skin and reduce the appearance of waxing bumps. Another great soother is Tea Tree Oil, which has antibacterial properties to ensure your skin remains free from infection.
  • Play it cool.After waxing, your skin may feel overly sensitive. We recommend having cool showers and that you avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the treated area for three days to give the skin time to settle. If you’ve had your underarms waxed, avoid deodorants for 24 hours post-treatment. Use only mild, unscented soaps and shower gels until your pores fully close.
  • Gentle exfoliation.Three days after your treatment, it’s a good idea to gently exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells and avoid ingrown hairs. Use a body scrub designed for sensitive skin and rub softly in circular movements to prevent hair from becoming trapped under the skin as the follicles close.
  • Books your wax appointments in 2-6 weeks..As part of your post-wax routine, book your next treatment. Regular waxing sessions mean that your hair becomes less dense, which results in less discomfort. It also slows the rate at which the hair regrows, keeping your body smoother for longer. Overall, a regular routine makes everything easier, and you won’t need to remember when you’re next due for a wax.
