Waxing: our tips before and after for perfect skin

Hot wax gives a clean, long-lasting result, provided you prepare your skin properly beforehand and look after it afterwards.

Before your appointment

• Let hair grow to at least 3 to 5 mm so the wax can grip properly.
• Gently exfoliate the day before to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.
• Avoid sun exposure right before your appointment.

Right after waxing

Skin may look slightly red for a few hours, which is normal. For 24 hours, avoid very hot baths, sauna, steam rooms and direct sun exposure, which can make irritation worse.

In the days that follow

• Moisturise your skin daily.
• Exfoliate gently once or twice a week to prevent ingrown hairs.
• Wear loose clothing for the first few hours, especially after a bikini or leg wax.
