Prior to starting your body wax, we have a few questions for you. Please let us know if you answer yes to any of the following:
- Have you been tanning within the last 48 hours?
- Have you applied any lotions, oils, or deodorants to the area being waxed today?
- Have you had any cancer treatments within the last 6 months?
- Have you had a hot bath or been in a hottub today?
- Have you taken Accutane, Isotretinoin, Retin-A, tretinoin, or differin in the last 6 months?
- Do you have sensitive skin or any skin conditions we need to be aware of?
After your body wax, we have some recommendations to help with the healing process. Please follow these guidelines to help avoid irritation, ingrown hairs, etc.
- Skin redness will occur but will not last more than 48 hours.
- Avoid touching the waxed areas. Wear breathable, loose clothing for today if possible.
- Shower if you would like. Just keep the water cooler if possible and use gentle soaps and moisturizers on the skin (non-scented).
- Exfoliate a couple times this week after there is no redness. This will help with ingrown hairs.
- Avoid heat, sun exposure, and sweating for 48 hours after the waxing service. This includes working out, tanning beds, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs.
- Use a clean cold compress if skin feels tender or irritated.
- Use Benzoyl Peroxide to help kill bacteria and to help with post wax bumps.
