For 24 hours:
- No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only).
- No saunas, hot tubs or steam treatments.
- No tanning (sunbathing or sun beds).
- No sport, gym work or other exercise.
- Avoid scratching or touching the waxed area with unwashed hands.
- Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area.
3 days after your service, begin exfoliating the area with a manual exfoliant. 2-3 times per week is sufficient and will help to prevent ingrown hairs and help to keep the skin smooth.
Keep your skin properly hydrated and moisturized. Supple skin allows for a more effective and comfortable waxing service.
Don't shave between services! This makes the hair more resistant and gets the growth cycle out of whack. If you stick to it, subsequent services will be less painful and your hair will become progressively softer and less dense over time (genetics play a role as to if and how fast this will occur).
