How to ensure smooth, silky, clear skin for weeks after your waxing.
To achieve beautifully clear and fresh skin after your waxing, we need to do some daily maintenance. Please follow these directions carefully.
Our skin is delicate and it’s natural balance can easily be upset. It may take a couple of visits to settle into your new routine.
After waxing, some slight tenderness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly after your first waxing.
These symptoms should settle over 24-48 hours. If they persist and you are worried, seek advice from your GP.
First Few Days
Its vitally important to be gentle, cool and calming to you skin for the first few days so :
- Avoid hot baths and showers, no fake tans, sunbeds, saunas, swimming, sunbathing or tight clothing.
- Avoid scratching, rubbing or touching the waxed areas especially with unwashed hands.
- Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating for 24 hours.
- Just mineral makeup, minimal deodorants and body spray.
- If you've had an intimate wax, no sex for tonight.
- Use antiseptic cream either Sudocrem or my premium choice, Comfort Balm from Ashmira for the next few days to soothe and protect your skin. Both these are available from me.
- Use a cream with SPF on exposed, waxed skin, especially your face or the back of your necks. Ashmira Protective Face Cream.
- Wear clean, loose fitting clothing especially around your pubic area. You’ll feel most comfortable wearing a post waxing thong, being made of lightweight, breathable, smooth micro-mesh material they will keep your penis and scrotum cool whilst providing a comfortable barrier between your legs and freshly shined testicles.
After about five days
The hairs will start to regrow under your skin. To prevent ingrown hairs it’s important to :
- Gently exfoliate the area a couple of times a week. This unblocks your hair follicles and clears dead skin cells, letting new hairs grow unhindered.
- For intimate waxing use Ruff Stuff Body Scrub, this moisturising scrub is developed by a waxing expert and perfect to prevent ingrown hairs.
- For non-intimate areas, a washable exfoliating cloth works really well with your normal shower gel. I recommend and stock A Bit Of Rough Exfoliating Wash Cloth.
- Moisturise waxed areas daily, after your showering to keep your skin supple helping new hairs grow easily through. If using RuffStuff no additional moisturiser is needed as it contains coconut butter.
It takes a few treatments until your hair cycles in unison. Before this you might notice a small amount of regrowth after a couple of weeks. These are the new hairs that were under the skin at the time of your waxing appointment.
We need to repeat your waxing regularly to achieve wonderful long lasting results. Initially rebook four weeks later, then extend to five or six as appropriate.
To enable the wax to grip properly the hairs should be about 5mm long, so please don't shave, tweeze or use hair removal creams between appointments. These delay the time it takes for your hair growth to synchronize.
Remember you receive a free tub of RuffStuff exfoliating scrub worth £10 for every friend that visits after being referred by yourself, so tell the world about your new look. You can even post a photo to my gallery.
