🌿 Aftercare Steps
Exfoliation
Start exfoliating 2–3 days after your wax, once the skin has calmed. Use a gentle scrub, exfoliating mitt, or chemical exfoliant (like a glycolic-based product) 2–3 times per week. Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells, helps prevent clogged pores, and allows new hairs to grow in freely — reducing the risk of ingrowns.
Moisturizing
Keep your skin soft and hydrated by applying a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer daily. Well-moisturized skin stays supple, which makes it easier for new hair to break through the surface. Apply after showers for best results. Avoid heavy, pore-clogging lotions or oils in the first 24 hours post-wax.
Ingrown Hair Oil (Serum)
For clients prone to bumps or irritation, apply an ingrown hair serum or oil daily after exfoliation. These treatments soothe inflammation, gently exfoliate at the pore level, and keep hair follicles clear. Consistent use helps reduce redness, prevent ingrowns, and maintain smooth, glowing skin between appointments.
