The Do’s and Don’ts of Brazilian Waxing
Tips for Caring for Your Fresh Brazilian Wax
Congratulations on your fresh Brazilian wax! Here are some tips to keep it looking and feeling its best:
Do’s and Don'ts:
*******It is strongly advised to avoid waxing while undergoing Accutane treatment. For individuals using Retinol, it is recommended to wait a minimum of two weeks before waxing, while those utilizing Tretinoin should wait between one to two weeks. These medications significantly heightens skin sensitivity, potentially resulting in skin lifting and bruising if waxing is performed during their usage.
Do brush your hair until it shines like a radiant star, and if you're feeling adventurous, consider giving it a trim to maintain its fabulous essence.
Don’t Shave before the appointment. there needs to be at least 1/4 inch worth of hair so that the wax can attach to it.
Don't forget to wear Granny Panties and opt for loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. Granny panties are truly a lifesaver in this situation! It's important to steer clear of anything tight or lacy as it can cause irritation to the skin post-waxing.
Don’t take aspirin before your appointment. Aspirin can possibly thin the blood which increase the chance of bruising.
Do take a pain reliver such as Tylenol which will assist with comfort.
Do avoid bathing or indulging in excessively hot showers, and refrain from swimming to ensure the best results for your skin treatments. Remember, taking care of your skin is key to achieving that healthy, glowing look you desire!
Do avoid direct sunlight or sunbathing and tanning.
Don’t use a sauna or a steam bath directly afterwards.
Do keep the intimate area fresh and clean before and after the wax.
Hands off the silky smooth skin! This will prevent any pesky bacteria from sneaking into your newly waxed pores and causing any unwanted infections.
Do start implementing a gentle exfoliation routine just 3 days following your wax appointment. This essential step aids in preventing pesky ingrown hairs from making an unwelcome appearance. Remember, smooth skin is just a gentle scrub away!
Don’t shave in between your waxing appointments; let that hair grow so we can give you a smooth, long-lasting result during your next visit! The longer the hair, the better the waxing experience will be, so resist the urge to pick up the razor.
Do avoid scheduling your waxing appointment during your period as your skin tends to be more sensitive at that time. While it is not completely off-limits, you may experience increased discomfort due to heightened fragility during menstruation.
Don’t be afraid to talk to your esthetician; we're here to help! Let us know if it's your first time visiting us. Feel free to ask as many questions as you need to feel completely at ease during your treatment. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities!
Do make sure to secure your next 4-6 week appointment right after your current visit to maintain that silky smooth feeling. Consider investing in aftercare products to assist with brightening the area and preventing those pesky ingrown hairs. Consistent upkeep is essential for ensuring that your Brazilian wax remains flawless!
Follow these fantastic tips, and you'll absolutely have a fabulous waxing experience that leaves you feeling smooth and confident! Trust the process and embrace the results for silky skin like never before!
