After-care Directions
Waxing / Sugaring Hair Removal
Sugaring & Waxing After-care
Follow these essential guidelines to ensure optimal results and skin health after your treatment
Avoid Touching
Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching with unwashed hands to prevent irritation and infection.
Avoid Heat
Skip hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and direct sunlight for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Apply Cold Compress
If experiencing redness or swelling, apply a clean cold compress for 10 minutes to soothe the area.
Soothing Gel
Apply aloe vera gel or a recommended post-wax soothing lotion to calm the skin and reduce irritation.
No Sexual Activity
Avoid sexual activity for at least 24 hours after treatment, especially for intimate area waxing. This prevents friction, irritation, and potential infection as your skin is more sensitive and pores are open.
Avoid Swimming
Stay away from pools, hot tubs, and ocean water for 48 hours to prevent irritation from chemicals and bacteria.
Avoid Exercise
Skip intense workouts for 48 hours to prevent excess sweating which can irritate freshly waxed skin.
Moisturize
Keep skin hydrated with a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness and irritation.
Apply Sunscreen
Use SPF 30+ on exposed treated areas when going outside, as freshly waxed skin is more susceptible to sun damage.
Gentle Exfoliation
Begin gentle exfoliation 3-4 days after treatment to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a soft scrub or exfoliating mitt.
Avoid Shaving
Let hair grow naturally between treatments. Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and reduces waxing effectiveness.
Regular Treatments
Schedule treatments every 4-6 weeks for best results. Consistent waxing leads to finer, sparser hair growth over time.
Hydrate
Drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated from within, which helps maintain skin elasticity and health.
