I have had waxing done by many people over the years and not many actually give out aftercare, it's only a reminder and even though I've been a new client they still haven't given me a reminder about what to avoid after waxing. So just a little reminder to all of those waxaholics out there, here are a few tips post wax to ensure you have smooth skin and avoid a contra-action.
- Try to avoid hot tubs, hot showers/baths, sunbathing, and exercise for 24 hours after your waxing treatment.
- It is best not to exfoliate the skin for 2-3 days after your wax. Exfoliate at least 2-3 times a week to help prevent ingrown hairs.
- Try to avoid shaving between your waxing treatments because shaving causes the hairs to become very coarse. Coarse hair can be difficult to wax, but it will also delay the benefits of long term waxing.
- Avoid sex for 12-24 hours after bikini waxing because it can cause chaffing or irritation to the area.
- Moisturise daily after showering to keep skin supple. It is best to avoid highly scented products for the first 24-48 hours after treatment as the area can be more sensitive.
- For best results have waxing done regularly every 4-6 weeks, but certain areas may require treatment more frequently such as underarm or eyebrows.
Waxing regularly damages the hair follicle by repeatedly pulling the hairs out from the root, so the hair growth diminishes over time. After waxing hair grows back softer and can become lighter, so by following these simple aftercare tips it will keep you hair free and skin smoother for longer.
