There are certain things that you can do to prolong the effects of your wax and ensure that you don’t suffer from any negative after-effects. The day before your treatment, I recommend that you exfoliate with a gentle scrub to get rid of any dead skin, which may block pores after the wax and cause ingrown hairs. For 24-48 hours after your wax, your skin may be red and sensitive to touch. I advise that you do not go swimming in a chlorinated pool or use highly perfumed toiletries during this time as it may cause discomfort.
