Waxing Aftercare

Keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction during the 24-48 hours after your waxing treatment.  This means:

• No hot baths, or showers (cool to lukewarm water only)
• No saunas, hot tubs or steam treatments
• No tanning (sunbathing, sunbeds or fake tans)
• No sport, gym work or other exercise
• Wear clean, loose fitting clothes
• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools
• Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area
• To soothe and protect the skin, apply an antiseptic cream to the waxed area regularly for 3 days following your treatment

To prevent ingrown hairs:

• Starting a few days after your appointment, gently scrub the skin 3 times a week
• Moisturise the area every day

Some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax.  These symptoms should subside over the next 24-48 hours.
