Waxing - After Treatment Advice

Freshly waxed skin needs to be looked after for 24 - 48 hours after treatment regardless of the size of the area that has been treated. The hair follicles will remain open for up to 12 hours and heat will be retained in the skin, therefore, to avoid any complications the following advice must be adhered to

  • No hot baths or showers for 24 hours
  • No sunbeds or sun exposure for at least 24 hours
  • Wear loose clothing after treatment
  • Do not apply perfumed products for at least 24 hours
  • Do not apply make-up over the waxed area
  • Avoid touching the area that has been treated
  • Do not swim for at least 24 hours
  • Do not exfoliate for at least 24 hours
If you are unfortunate enough to suffer with ingrown hairs it is best not to try to squeeze them out of the skin as quite often this can lead to infection of the hair follicle. We would suggest exfoliating the areas you have waxed twice a week to prevent ingrown hairs, you may also like to try applying a suitable solution to help raise the hairs out of the skin. Further advice and products are available at the salon.
