Post-Wax Care Tips | Maintain Smooth Skin After Waxing

After waxing, heightened sensitivity, including redness, small bumps, and bruising, may last for 24-48 hours. Applying 1% hydrocortisone cream to bumps, using cold compresses or cool showers can help alleviate these effects. To prevent ingrown hair and maintain smooth skin, regular exfoliation with waXon Buff Off and moisturizing with waXon Smooth Off are recommended. Light exercise is acceptable, but heavy sweating should be avoided, and skin should be cleansed promptly after a workout. Refrain from tanning, hot tubs, or saunas for 48 hours post-waxing, and apply sunscreen to exposed areas. Avoid shaving between waxes to ensure finer and sparser hair growth, leading to more comfortable waxing experiences every 4-6 weeks.

Exfoliant and Moisturizer are our best friends! In order to prevent ingrown hair and to keep the skin smooth between visits, be sure to both Exfoliate in the shower & apply oil to clean dry skin. This prevents hair getting trapped underneath skin causing unsightly bumps as well as the dreaded grow back itch.

Light exercise is alright, however it is best to avoid heavy sweating, sweat- even our own sweat contains bacteria that may cause irritation. Be sure to cleanse skin as soon as possible after workout.

Avoid tanning (natural or artificial), hot tubs, or saunas for 48 hours after a wax, freshly waxed skin is more photosensitive and prone to burn. Remember to apply and reapply sunscreen to exposed freshly waxed skin.

Try to avoid shaving between waxes, as shaving causes hair to become very coarse and coarse hair can be difficult to wax. This can result in stubble left behind after a wax.

In order to achieve optimal results, it is important to wax every 4-6 weeks. The hair will become finer and sparser over time resulting in more comfortable waxing services.
