Spring is here and its time to remove the winter fuzz build up. The winter season may have left you with a little extra hair in the wrong places! The worst thing you want is for the unsightly hairs to reveal themselves and surprise everyone. Now is the perfect time to get your waxing routine in order. Here are some waxing tips for smooth spring skin.
- Get a head start – Prepare for the summer by starting a regular waxing cycle and continue it year round. With regular waxing, you can lengthen the time in between your treatments; the more you wax, the weaker the hair follicle becomes, making it easier to remove. If you are new to waxing and want to make it last, schedule a “Touch Up” service to help you transition your hair-growth pattern from shaving to waxing. To maintain your smooth skin, you can continue touch up treatments every four weeks.
- Exfoliate, Exfoliate – Body scrubs or body brushes are the perfect way to shed your winter skin and prepare for your wax. The day before you decide to wax, exfoliate in the shower. This will remove dead skin, allowing the wax to grip shorter hairs.
- Let it grow a little – Let your hair grow out about one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch before going in for waxing.
- Moisturize – Daily moisturizing is necessary to keep your skin soft in between waxes. Moisturize from the inside as well, drink a lot of water to plump up the skin to allow the hair to be removed from the follicle easily and prevent breakage of the hair at skin level.
- Protection – Using sun protection is recommended when exposing your skin to the sun and is especially important during the first 24 hours post-waxing in order to avoid redness.
- Cautious Tanning – No tanning 24 hours before or after your wax to avoid irritation. If you plan on getting a spray tan, make sure you do it the day after your wax.
- Perfect Your Timing – Going on a vacation or a specific outing and you want to look your best? We recommend waxing two days before your trip for best results.
