• To minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs, avoid wearing tight clothing over newly waxed areas.
• Exfoliate the skin 24 to 48 hours after the waxing sessions to prevent the build up of dead skin cells (which can result in ingrown hairs).
• Do not expose newly waxed areas to the sun for at least 48 hours after treatments. A good sunblock is also recommended to protect the skin.
• Because skin tends to be more sensitive right before and right after your menstrual cycle, waxing can be more painful. Try to avoid scheduling a waxing session 3-4 days before and 3-4 days after your period.
