Girls, let’s face it—waxing is a sacred ritual in our beauty therapy! We may complain during the torture, but we know that it’s all going to be worthwhile in the end. And just like every ritual has its sacred rules, waxing too has its dos and don’ts for silky, irritation-free skin.
So, without delay, let’s get into the golden commandments of waxing!
Before the Pain and the Healing – Prep Like a Pro!
Waxing is one great method of having soft, smooth skin for weeks, yet it’s not all about waxing itself. How you prep before and afterward can be the difference!
What to Do Before Waxing?
✅ Exfoliate
Gently exfoliate the area a day before waxing. This removes dead skin cells and allows the wax to catch hold better, giving a smoother and cleaner finish.
✅ Prep Your Hair Length
Best results are achieved when your hair is between ¼ and ½ inch long. Too short? The wax will not adhere. Too long? That’s going to hurt more than it has to!
✅ Clean in Depth
Ensure that your skin is free of oil and lotion, clean, and dry before waxing. This makes the wax stay put and allows for improved hair removal.
✅ Avoid Shaving
Pre-shaving is an absolute no-no! Shaving makes the hair hard and patchy and may result in a bad wax and ingrown hairs.
✅ Apply a Pre-Wax Treatment
Using a pre-wax lotion or baby powder can also be applied to soak up excess wetness and prepare your skin for the wax.
Aftercare – Make That Glow Last!
Your skin underwent a harsh treatment, so nice treatment post-wax is in order. Keep reading.
✅ Use a Cool Compress
Get that cool compress working immediately after finishing your wax and reduce redness and irritation on the skin.
New skin after waxing is sensitive, so avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours to avoid burns, redness, and pigmentation.
✅ Gently Clean
Use mild soap and warm water to clean the skin and eliminate residue and bacterial infection.
✅ Steer Clear of Sweaty Situations
Skip hot showers, gym sessions, or swimming for 24 hours. Sweating might clog pores and lead to irritation or breakouts.
✅ Moisturize
Apply an unscented moisturizer or aloe vera gel to hydrate the skin and ease redness.
✅ Exfoliate – But Not Too Soon!
Delay exfoliating for at least 3-4 days. This prevents ingrown hairs but maintains your skin smooth.
✅ Wait Before Your Next Wax
For the smoothest experience, allow your hair to grow out for roughly 4-5 weeks before your next waxing session. This makes the experience smoother, less painful the next time.
