Summer is the season of bikini season, which means waxing-woes are beginning for many women. While you can decide how to groom your skin, we recommend these do’s and don’ts for those who choose to wax as a hair-removal option.
Waxing London can be one of the most effective hairs removal methods, but it also has its problems. Waxing can lead to ingrown hairs, acne, and skin rashes if it is not done properly. Pre-wax exfoliation should be done at least one week before the appointment. You could have patchy, unnaturally reddened skin if you don’t take the necessary precautions following a waxing session. Your skin must rest for at least 24 hours after waxing.
These tips will ensure smooth waxing.
- Take a shower at least two hours before you apply your wax, but no later than that. A bath can open up your pores, making your skin more susceptible to infection.
- Avoid waxing if you have recently treated your skin with abrasions, cuts, or allergies.
- If you have had Botox treatment on one part of your body, it is best not to wax the area.
- You must get approval from your doctor before you make a wax appointment if you have varicose or other skin conditions.
- To determine how responsive your skin is to waxing, patch test it. This is especially important if you have just decided to wax, are pregnant, are taking oral contraceptives, or are on an antibiotics regimen.
- The powder can be used to reduce skin redness after a wax.
- Waxing can remove hair. You need to soothe your skin after the procedure. Apply a cooling aloe-based gel (all natural) to do this. Use specific creams or lotions to help soothe your skin after a wax.
- You can soothe your skin by having your eyebrows waxed using tea bags that have been brewed and cooled.
- Do not go to the spa, gym or masseuse.
- Try to schedule your waxing appointments for the same day each month before the deadline of 4 weeks. Make sure you exfoliate between visits with a soft brush.
Seek medical attention immediately if you feel severe pain or scabbing, even if you have taken these precautions.
