For 24 hours after any waxing or until ALL redness has subsided:

​​

  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure​

  • Avoid deodorant for underarm waxing​

  • Avoid cosmetics and perfumes for facial waxing​

  • Avoid chemical peels for one week following your appointment​

  • Avoid exercise as sweating and oils can clog pores and disrupt the healing process​

  • Take only lukewarm baths and showers as heat can cause more irritation to the already sensitive skin

Maintenance and Avoiding Ingrown Hairs:​

  • Do not shave between waxes​

  • Exfoliate in the shower twice to three times per week. after your regular cleanse-avoiding harsh soaps-with an all-natural salt or sugar scrub​

  • Moisturize: skin must stay hydrated. the best way is through a body butter as to not clog pores and to act as a protector to keep your body's natural oils in the skin
