Preparing your skin before waxing is important to ensure a comfortable and effective waxing experience. Here are some tips on what to do before waxing:
- Let your hair grow: For best results, hair should be at least 1cm long before FIRST waxing. This allows the wax to grip the hair properly and remove it from the root.
- Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the skin three days before waxing to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. Be sure to avoid exfoliating on the day of your wax, as this can make the skin more sensitive.
- Avoid certain products: Avoid using any lotions, creams, or oils on the skin on the day of your wax, as they can interfere with the wax’s grip on the hair. You should also avoid using any products containing retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids, as they can make the skin more sensitive.
- Communicate with us: Be sure to communicate any concerns or questions with your waxing specialist before the service. We can have additional recommendations or tips based on your skin type and the area being waxed.
By following these tips, you can help ensure a comfortable and effective waxing experience.
