Aftercare
After waxing,
give your skin a rest.
Slight redness is normal and usually fades within a day. A few simple habits keep your skin calm and the result looking good for longer.
The first 24 hours
- Avoid sauna, steam rooms, sunbeds, swimming pools, hot showers and intense exercise.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing over the treated skin.
- Touch the skin as little as possible and avoid fragranced products.
- After underarm waxing, skip deodorant; after a facial treatment, skip make-up.
- After an intimate treatment: loose cotton underwear and no intimate contact.
The days after
- After two days, start exfoliating gently and regularly — two or three times a week.
- Keep your skin supple with a mild, fragrance-free cream.
- Apply self-tan only after 48 hours.
- Try not to shave between appointments, so your hair growth stays in the same rhythm.
Preventing ingrown hairs
Ingrown hairs develop when a hair tries to grow back under the skin. Gentle regular exfoliation, supple skin and no tight clothing straight after the treatment help most. Don’t squeeze or pick at them; that increases the risk of inflammation or a mark.
What is normal?
- Redness and small bumps around the follicles that fade within one or two days.
- A slightly warm or tight feeling on the day itself.
- The odd tiny pinpoint bleed with coarse hair.
When to contact your GP
If a spot becomes more painful, warmer or more swollen instead of calmer, you see pus, or you develop a fever, please contact your GP. Feel free to let Dilek know too.
A regular rhythm
For most areas, every four to six weeks is a comfortable rhythm; for the face and underarms sometimes a little more often. With regular waxing, hair often grows back finer and more evenly.
Good to know
