Tan extender lotion also available for purchase to extend the life of your tan by up to 5 days.
It is recommended that you stop shaving for at least 1 1/2 -2 weeks before your wax in order for the wax to adhere to your hair.
The hair must be 1/8 inch long or about the size of a grain of rice.
Waxing is usually not painless but there are things that you can do to make your experience more comfortable. Exfoliating 24 hours prior to your appointment will allow the hair to be removed more effortlessly. You can also take an ibuprofen 1 hour before to help.
After waxing, it's essential to follow proper aftercare to soothe the skin, minimize irritation, and reduce the risk of complications. Here are some general tips for waxing aftercare:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 24 hours after waxing. The newly waxed skin is more susceptible to sunburn, and exposure can lead to irritation and pigmentation changes.
- Avoid Hot Baths and Showers: Hot water can irritate the freshly waxed skin. Stick to lukewarm water for the first 24 hours after waxing.
- Skip Heavy Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that may cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours after waxing. Sweat can irritate the hair follicles.
- Avoid Tight Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent friction and irritation against the waxed area.
- No Swimming: Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water for the first 24-48 hours after waxing to prevent infection.
- Exfoliate Gently: After 48 hours, you can start exfoliating the waxed area to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a soft brush.
- Moisturize: Keep the waxed area well-moisturized to prevent dryness and flakiness. Use a fragrance-free, alcohol-free moisturizer to avoid irritation.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Stay away from products containing harsh chemicals, fragrances, or alcohol for a few days after waxing, as they can cause irritation.
- Don't Touch the Area: Avoid touching the waxed area with dirty hands to reduce the risk of infection.
- Say No to Deodorants and Perfumes: Avoid using deodorants, perfumes, or any scented products on the freshly waxed skin, as they may cause irritation.
- Take Pain Relievers: If you experience redness or inflammation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help reduce discomfort.
- Avoid Waxing Too Often: Allow enough time between waxing sessions to allow the hair to grow back sufficiently. Waxing too frequently can lead to increased sensitivity and irritation.
