Waxing: our tips before and after for perfect skin
Hot wax gives a clean, long-lasting result, provided you prepare your skin properly beforehand and look after it afterwards.
Before your appointment
- Let hair grow to at least 3 to 5 mm so the wax can grip properly.
- Gently exfoliate the day before to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.
- Avoid sun exposure right before your appointment.
Right after waxing
Skin may look slightly red for a few hours, which is normal. For 24 hours, avoid very hot baths, sauna, steam rooms and direct sun exposure, which can make irritation worse.
In the days that follow
- Moisturise your skin daily.
- Exfoliate gently once or twice a week to prevent ingrown hairs.
- Wear loose clothing for the first few hours, especially after a bikini or leg wax.
