Post Wax Care

• Avoid hot bath/shower, sauna, steam, hot tub, pools, beaches and exercise 24-48 hours after waxing.  Sweating can carry bacteria into the pores and can irritate the skin after waxing.
• Use a cold compress to soothe the area if needed.
• For Brazilian and Manzilian waxing, sexual activity should be avoided for 24-48 hours, friction on the skin can cause inflammation.
• Don’t use products with harsh chemicals, perfumes, or dyes.
• Keep hands from touching freshly waxed skin, minimizing chances of getting irritations or small pimples.
• Use tea tree oil, lavender oil, aloe, antibiotic ointment or hydrocortisone cream if necessary
• Daily exfoliation is recommended to prevent ingrowns.  You can use loofa gloves or facial scrubs to exfoliate the skin. 
• Avoid tight clothing after waxing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.
• Avoid the sun immediately after waxing and please wear sun screen; recently waxed areas are prone to hyperpigmentation (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun.
