đ Warmer days are on the way⌠which means waxing season is back! đ
If youâve got holidays, events or just smoother skin on your mind, this is your gentle reminder to prep your skin properly before your wax đ
⨠BEFORE YOUR WAX â DO:â¨â˘ Gently exfoliate 24â48 hours beforeâ¨â˘ Keep skin clean, dry & product-free on the dayâ¨â˘ Let hair grow to at least a grain of rice lengthâ¨â˘ Wear loose, comfy clothing
đŤ BEFORE YOUR WAX â DONâT:â¨â˘ No fake tan (patchy results + poor wax grip)â¨â˘ Avoid sunbeds/sunburned skinâ¨â˘ Avoid heavy oils/creams on the day
â ď¸ IMPORTANT: Active Skincare Warning â ď¸â¨If youâre using retinols, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or any medical-grade skincare/facials, please be extra cautious:
These products thin and speed up skin cell turnover. When waxing is performed on sensitised skin, it can:â¨â˘ Lift the top layer of skinâ¨â˘ Cause redness, rawness or scabbingâ¨â˘ Look and feel like a burn
đĄ This includes:â¨Retinol / Tretinoin / Adapaleneâ¨Chemical peels & resurfacing facialsâ¨Strong exfoliating acidsâ¨Some acne treatments
đ Pause these products at least 5â7 days before waxing (longer if skin is sensitive or advised by your therapist).
⨠AFTER YOUR WAX â DO:â¨â˘ Soothe with gentle, fragrance-free productsâ¨â˘ Keep skin cool & cleanâ¨â˘ Wear loose clothingâ¨â˘ Exfoliate lightly after 2â3 days to prevent ingrowns
đŤ AFTER YOUR WAX â DONâT:â¨â˘ No hot baths, saunas or gym for 24 hoursâ¨â˘ Avoid sun exposure & tanningâ¨â˘ No active skincare for a few days after
Your skin is your investment â letâs treat it properly so you get the best results without irritation â¨
