Preparing your skin for waxing is equally crucial. Use these simple guidelines to get the greatest results with the least amount of discomfort:

• 2-3 days before the appointment, exfoliate the region. In the long run, this will help keep the skin supple and smooth and stop ingrown hairs.

• On the day of the appointment, take a bath or shower. As a result, hair removal will be made simpler by opening up the hair follicles.

• On the day of the appointment, avoid using any cosmetics, makeup, lotions, soaps, powders, fragrances, or treatment products on the region.

Waxing aftercare

The region after waxing will be red, some people may see blood spots owing to thicker, coarser hair, and the area may feel sore and tingly. All of these side effects are common. However, these symptoms ought to go away during the next 24 to 48 hours. Do not hesitate to get in touch with your therapist or salon if you notice persistent redness or discomfort or if you have any questions.

To prevent irritating the skin, avoid doing the following for the first 24 hours following a waxing procedure:

• Exfoliate the waxed region ( Even gently exfoliate).

• Touch or scratch the treated region.

• Use sauna or steam rooms.

• Gyms, swimming, or exercise.

• Apply products to the region, such as cosmetics, makeup, lotions, soaps, powders, fragrances, or treatments.

• Wear anything too tight that could rub.

• Hot showers; only warm or cold water is allowed.

• Exposure to UV rays, sunbeds, and other forms of sunshine.

Keep in mind that the region needs to be kept dry and clean for 48 hours following your appointment. In order to prevent ingrown hairs, you must also carefully exfoliate the area 3 to 10 days following your treatment. Between days 3 and 10 after your wax service, you must follow this practice of gentle exfoliation twice a week with a body scrub.

Excessive exfoliation can harm your skin. Apply a nourishing and revitalizing moisturizer after exfoliating. Any ingrown hairs will be avoided by following this procedure, which will also make getting your next wax easier and slightly less painful.
