Pre & Post Body Waxing Care
PRE -
- Do not apply self tanners, body sprays, deodorants and other topical creams before your appointment.
- If you have been shaving, allow a minimum of 2-3 weeks or ¼ inch of hair growth.
- Schedule your wax 2-3 days before beach and poolside activities if you plan to sun bathe.
- No tanning beds, hot tubs and saunas before your appointment.
- Exfoliating the area gently 24 hours before your appointment will remove the dead skin cells and allow for a cleaner wax.
- Wear loose comfortable clothing to prevent irritation after waxing.
POST -
- Heightened sensitivity may be experienced in the area waxed for the next 24-48 hours.
- Avoid heat. No tanning, sun bathing, hot tubs or saunas for 48 hours after your treatment. Since a layer of dead skin cells have been removed, sun and or heat exposure can burn the skin.
- No hot baths or exercising for 24 hours following your treatment.
- Apply a cold compress to sooth the skin if you experience sensitivity or irritation after your treatment. Hydro-cortisone cream also reduces the redness and irritation following your treatment.
- Moisturize daily. We suggest Just the Strip nourishing oil made specifically for waxed skin.
- Exfoliate daily 48 hours after your treatment. We offer a nice selection of exfoliating products to help you maintain your wax and eliminate ingrown hairs.
