A calm few days that keep skin smooth and bump-free.

Waxing leaves skin smooth, and a calm post-appointment routine prevents bumps and keeps results comfortable. Read this as a quick refresher and message us with any questions.

First 24 to 48 hours

Keep the area clean, cool, and dry.Freshly waxed skin is most sensitive in the first two days. A cool compress soothes any redness quickly.
Skip saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and heavy workouts.Heat and sweat can irritate open pores while they settle.
Avoid makeup, perfumed products, and self-tan on the area.Fragrance and active ingredients can sting and cause uneven tan lines.

Days 2 to 7

Resume gentle exfoliation two to three times a week.Light exfoliation lifts dead skin away from the follicle and helps prevent ingrown hairs.
Moisturise daily with a fragrance-free product.Hydrated skin recovers faster and keeps the smooth feel for longer.

Care to take

Wear loose clothing for the first day after a body wax.Friction is the main cause of post-wax bumps. Soft, loose fabric prevents it.
Apply SPF if the waxed area will see sunlight.New skin is more vulnerable to UV and pigment changes.
