What can I Expect Afterwards?
It’s normal to experience slight redness or small bumps after waxing but these will usually subside
within a day or so. For the best results, ‘cool, clean and calm’ are the key words to remember for
48 hours after waxing.
Cool
-
-
Avoid hot baths or showers, saunas, steam rooms, sport and exercise
Avoid sunbathing (in any form including fake tan or sunbeds)
Clean
- Take loose, clean clothing to change into following your wax treatment
- Try your best not to touch the waxed areas for a few days – this is one of the quickest ways
to get spots!
- Use clean bed linen on the night of your wax treatment
Calm
- Wear clean, loose fitting clothing and avoid friction
- Avoid swimming – chlorine and freshly waxed skin are not a good combination
- Don’t use deodorants, body sprays, powders, or lotions on the waxed area, other than the
specialist products recommended by your waxing therapist. For a smooth and comfortable
finish I recommend Outback Organics Post Wax Spray (£9.99, 100ml) on larger areas such
as the back or chest. For calming and soothing intimate areas try Outback Organics Bush
Balm (£11.99, 100ml).
