8 Tips for a Super-Smooth Waxing Experience
Waxing is such a popular hair removal solution because it delivers soft, hair-free skin for many weeks! No matter whether you are a first-timer or a waxing pro, these 8 Pre-Waxing Tips will make your treatment go smooth and your skin even smoother!
1. Exfoliate
For smooth skin, exfoliate before and in between your waxing appointments. You can use a scrub, brush, mitt, or loofah. Depending on your skin type and the exfoliant you choose, you should exfoliate one to four times per week. This way, you remove dead skin cells that surround the hair follicles, helping loosen existing ingrown hairs. But to avoid irritation, don't exfoliate two days before and after your waxing.
2. Moisturize
Keep your skin moisturized, but don't coat your body with lotions, creams, or any of the sort on the day of your wax.
3. Let Your Hair Grow
For best results, the hair length should be 0.5 to 1.5 cm. Refrain from shaving in between your waxing appointments, as this will increase your risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.
4. Check the Contraindication
Make sure you are not on any medications or health issues that weaken the skin and may cause it to tear. Always be clear when completing your waxing intake form.
5. Say No to Coffee & Alcohol
Avoid consuming caffeine and alcohol on your waxing day, If you are extra sensitive to pain.
6. Wear Loose Cotton Clothes
Wear comfortable cotton-made clothing as you want to let freshly waxed skin breathe.
7. Skip the Tanning
Stay away from sunbathing, tanning beds, saunas, and hot tubs for up to 48 hours before your wax. If you had a fake tan you should wait for the full life of it (probably 5 to 6 days) before waxing, as the wax will not only remove your hair but also your brand new self/spray tan.
8. Be Regular
Book a return visit every four to six weeks to lessen the pain associated with hair removal. The more you wax now, the less you will need to wax in the future, as waxing reduces the strength of the hair follicle. Over time, hair regrowth will become sparser.
