How to get the most out of your waxing appointments

Facial and body waxings offer an effective and quick hair removal process ensuring the hair is removed from the root rather than just on the surface. Waxing can create shapely brows that offer a finished look all the way to smooth legs that are left radiant and refreshed. 
Here are some tips to make sure your next waxing appointment gets the optimal results:

Before Care: 
Make sure your hair is at least 1/4-1/2 inch long (approximately the length of a grain of rice).
Exfoliate gently 1-2 days prior to remove any dead skin.
Avoid sun exposure, retinoids, or exfoliating acids for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation.
Inform your esthetician about any medications you are on or skin sensitivities.

After Care:
Avoid touching the waxed area to prevent bacteria build up.
Skip hot showers, saunas, or heavy exercise for 24 hours to avoid irritation.
Moisturize daily and use SPFs to protect sensitive skin.
Exfoliate lightly after 48 hours to prevent in grown hairs. 
Avoid makeup or harsh products for 24 hours. 

Follow these steps for smooth, irritation-free results!
