TREATABLE CONCERNS

Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the skin in the days leading up to your waxing appointment to remove dead skin cells. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and allows for smoother hair removal.

Hair Length: Ensure that the hair in the treatment area is at least a quarter-inch long (about the length of a grain of rice). This allows the wax to adhere properly for effective hair removal.

Pain Management: If you’re concerned about pain, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment. Avoid caffeine, which can increase sensitivity.

Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking water in the days before your appointment. Hydrated skin tends to be more resilient and can reduce discomfort during waxing.

Clean Skin: Ensure the skin is clean and free from oils, lotions, or creams on the day of your waxing session. Clean, dry skin ensures better adhesion of the wax.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, or sunburn in the treatment area in the days leading up to your waxing session, as sunburned or irritated skin is more sensitive.

Avoid Retinoids: If you use skincare products containing retinoids (like Retin-A or Renova), stop using them in the days leading up to your waxing appointment. These products can increase skin sensitivity.

Consultation: If you have any skin conditions, allergies, or concerns, it’s essential to inform your waxing professional during the consultation. They can offer guidance and ensure your safety.

Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment, as it can help reduce irritation after waxing.

Remove Makeup and Deodorant: Remove all makeup, deodorant, and other skincare products from your skin before the session. These can create a barrier and affect the tan’s development.

Plan Ahead: Schedule your waxing appointment at least a day or two before any special events or activities to allow your skin to recover.

Avoid Hot Water: For the first 24 hours after waxing, avoid hot baths, saunas, and hot showers, as they can irritate the freshly waxed skin.

Skip Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least 48 hours after waxing, as the skin is more susceptible to UV damage.

Loose Clothing: Wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing for a day or two after waxing to prevent friction and irritation.

Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse the waxed area gently with mild, fragrance-free soap to avoid irritation and infection. Avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days.

Moisturise: Keep the skin moisturised with a gentle, hypoallergenic lotion to maintain hydration and prevent dryness.

No Heavy Workouts: Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that can cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.

Hands Off: Refrain from touching the freshly waxed area with unwashed hands to minimize the risk of infection.

Avoid Deodorants and Perfumes: Steer clear of deodorants, perfumes, and scented products on freshly waxed underarms to prevent irritation.

No Hair Removal: Do not use any hair removal methods (shaving, tweezing, or depilatory creams) between waxing sessions to ensure consistent results.

Exfoliate After a Few Days: After a few days, you can begin gentle exfoliation to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a soft exfoliating mitt or a mild exfoliating scrub.

Avoid Tight Clothing: Continue wearing loose-fitting clothing for a few days to prevent friction and potential irritation.

Return for Maintenance: Depending on your hair growth cycle, schedule regular waxing appointments to maintain hair-free results.
