WHAT TO DO BEFORE WAXING APPOINTMENT
-
The hair should be a quarter of an inch (the size of a grain of rice) to ensure the hair is correctly removed from the root.
-
Take an Ibuprofen or apply a numbing cream before waxing to reduce pain and sensitivity temporarily.
-
Notify The Clinician if you are on any medications or skin products that contain Accutane, Retin A/Retinol or Salicylic Acid.
-
Do not tan/spray tan within 24 hours of waxing service.
-
Avoid alcohol intake.
-
Exfoliate the skin to remove any dead skin cells.
AFTERCARE WITHIN 24 HOURS
-
Be comfy. Wear loose clothing to prevent friction that can irritate the skin.
-
Avoid heat, sweat and friction after a wax—for example, Baths, hot tubs, saunas, and physical activity. The hair follicles are open, and this can cause bacteria to enter.
-
Do not use products on the skin. Examples are deodorant, perfumes and scented body lotion.
-
Avoid touching the area.
What To Do 24+ Hours After Your Waxing Appointment
-
Exfoliate 48 hours after waxing. For upkeeping, exfoliate two to three times a week to buff off the dead skin cells to avoid ingrown hairs that come with the regrowth. Gently scrub the area with a scrub brush, an exfoliating glove, facecloth or body scrub.
-
Moisturize.
-
Do not shave between waxes.
