After Wax Selfcare Tips
IMPORTANT AFTER WAXING CARE
Here are some incredible tips for those who wax on a regular basis or are new to the process. You’ll need to keep any part of your body you wax clean and dry for the first 48 hours after waxing, and also avoid anything that could irritate your delicate skin. The list includes exfoliating, strong sunlight, saunas, synthetic clothes, and steamy, hot baths (another reason to make the most of your pre-wax one). 1. Stay out of the sun.The first 48 hours after waxing, your already delicate skin down there is even more vulnerable. So while you may be dying to throw on your bikini the second you leave the salon, keep in mind that sensitive skin is more susceptible to U.V. rays. This can lead to permanent damage. 2. Avoid swimming. This kind of goes hand in hand with the above, but it goes for indoor pools too—and especially large bodies of water (like an ocean, lake, or river) that could contain bacteria. “Avoid public water like swimming pools for a few days.” Psssstttt….Be careful not to over exfoliate. Waxing removes the top most layer of dead skin, along with the hair, so any kind of additional scrubbing can lead to skin damage. However, after the first few days, it’s important to remove dead skin cells with a light scrub or exfoliating serum to prevent ingrown hairs. |
