Beauty spa is a popular method of hair removal and for good reason! Unlike shaving, waxing actually removes the hair at the root. This not only gives skin a silky smooth texture, but it also significantly reduces the amount of hair growth.

Plus, it reduces the risk of painful, embarrassing ingrown hairs! So it’s important to maintain a post-waxing skincare routine for your arms, legs, bikini area, back, chest, and other sensitive areas.

Skincare After Waxing

Whether you’re an avid shaver or new to the world of waxing, there are some essential steps to take for smoother skin post-wax. Start with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser. Avoid harsh soaps and exfoliators, which can be too abrasive on the skin. Instead, opt for products with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and chamomile to soothe skin and prevent ingrown hairs.

It’s also a good idea to avoid the sun for 24 hours after waxing. The rays can further irritate dilated capillaries, which can cause redness or a flare-up of rosacea.

After that, you can slowly reintroduce your exfoliation routine. However, when you do, always use a gentle scrub or body polish and follow it with a rich moisturizer. Try our Hyaluron Body Gel, which is made with soothing aloe vera and balloon vine for a calming effect, or our Refining Body Scrub. Avoid any rough scrubs or harsh scrubs, as these can irritate freshly waxed skin. You should also be careful to avoid any abrasive treatments, such as chemical peels and retinol creams, at least two days before your wax.
