- Avoid applying heat to waxed area for 12-24 hours. This includes hot baths, sauna, and steam.
- Use an anti-acne lotion on face, back and chest folowing the treatment and twice daily until breakouts are gone. Use only an anti-acne product recommended by your skin care professional.
- Avoid sun tanning for 24-48 hours. This includes any strong ultraviolet light exposure or tanning bed treatments.
- Aviod using harsh abrasive or exfoliates in the waxed area. However if you are prone to in-grown hairs, the day after your waxing treatment, exfoliate newly waxed area with loofah to avoid future problems.
- Avoid applying high fragranced products to the waxed area. This includes, perfume, scented body lotions, anti-perspirants, cosmetics, or feminine hygiene sprays. Only use professional products, recommended to you by the skin care therapist.
- Avoid applying high SPF sunblock to the waxed areafor 24 hours after the waxing service. Sunscreen chemicals can be irritating to the newly waxed skin. This includes self-tanning products and tan accelerators.
- Redness of the skin should disappear within 6-8 hours after the waxing treatment. Slight redness is normal and indicates that the hair was removed from the root, rather than superficially broken off, as in shaving. This is the reason that professional waxing lasts so much longer.
For best results, repeat your professional waxing every 4-6 weeks depending on the area and your individual hair growth rate.
If you have any questions or concerns about your waxing service or after care at home, please do no hesitate to call your skin care therapist.
