Waxing aftercare.

For the first 24 to 48 hours

• Wear loose, breathable clothing, especially on the first day
• Keep the area cool. Skip hot showers, hot tubs, saunas, and intense workouts
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning in the treated area
• Avoid swimming in chlorinated or salt water
• Skip perfumed products, deodorant (if underarms), and tight waistbands
• Do not pick, scratch, or exfoliate the area

Exfoliation timing

Begin gentle exfoliation 48 to 72 hours after the wax. Use a soft washcloth, a mild scrub, or a soft-bristle brush in the shower, with light pressure. The goal is to free hairs as they start to grow back, not to scrub the skin raw.

Continue gentle exfoliation 2 to 3 times a week between waxes. Daily harsh scrubs will irritate the area.

Ingrown prevention

• Exfoliate gently and regularly between appointments
• Wear breathable, loose clothing when you can
• Skip heavy body lotions and oils in the area for 24 hours after waxing
• If you notice a small bump, do not squeeze; apply a warm compress for a few minutes and let the area breathe

What is normal

• Mild redness, warmth, and tiny bumps for 24 hours
• Tenderness in sensitive areas for 24 to 48 hours
• Slight itching as hair starts to regrow around week 2 or 3
