Waxing appointments can be a game-changer for achieving smooth, hair-free skin. But did you know that prepping your skin beforehand can enhance the waxing experience and improve results? In this guide, we’ll explore essential tips on what you should repair before your waxing day to ensure a successful and comfortable waxing session.

How Long Should You Prepare For Waxing Day?

Clients should give their skin extra attention for 24-36 hours after waxing. Daily skincare is essential for long-term skin health.

Pre-Care: Prepare Your Skin for Waxing

Before your waxing appointment, it’s crucial to prepare your skin properly to achieve the best results and minimize discomfort. Follow these pre-care tips to ensure a smooth and effective waxing experience:

• Optimal Hair Length: Trim your hair to approximately ¼ inch before your appointment. This length allows the wax to grip the hair effectively, resulting in smoother hair removal.
• Choose Skin-Friendly Products: Use gentle, fragrance-free skincare products leading up to your appointment to avoid skin irritation. Harsh chemicals and fragrances can make your skin more sensitive during waxing.
• Consultation with a Medical Professional: If you’re taking medications or have underlying health conditions, consult your healthcare provider before waxing. Certain medications and health issues can affect your skin’s sensitivity and response to waxing.
• Awareness of Contraindications: Be mindful of any contraindications such as immune system disorders or severe ingrown hairs. These factors may impact your suitability for waxing, so it’s essential to discuss them with your esthetician or healthcare provider.
• Your skin’s well-being should be your top priority. At Waxing House, we provide all of our waxing clients with these extensive instructions. Your health is important to us!

After-Care: How to Maintain Your Skin’s Result

Once you’ve spent the time and money on waxing, you’ll want to make sure it lasts as long as possible. Just follow these instructions:

• Avoid the sun. Sun exposure without sunscreen will lead to unwanted pigmentation such as freckles and skin patches.
• Be gentle with your newly waxed skin. Do not use exfoliating products or other products containing harsh ingredients for 5-7 days. Focus on moisture and barrier protection. Use items such as protective barrier repair, Vaseline or Desitin ointment.
• Do not re-wax the treatment area for 5-7 days or 14 days for sensitive skin.
• Do not use products with artificial fragrances and dyes.
