At House of Waxing, your comfort, hygiene and results are always a priority. Following a few simple before and aftercare steps can help you get the best from your wax and keep your skin feeling smooth and comfortable.

Before your treatment

• Shower on the day of your appointment if possible.

• Gently exfoliate the area 2–3 days before your wax.

• Allow enough hair growth for the wax to grip effectively.

• Avoid applying heavy creams, oils or lotions to the area on the day.

During your treatment
I follow strict hygiene procedures for every appointment. Fresh disposable gloves and spatulas are used as required, with no double dipping into the wax pot.

After your wax
For the first 24 hours, avoid:

• Hot baths, very hot showers, saunas and steam rooms

• Swimming pools and hot tubs

• Heavy exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating

• Sunbeds, tanning and prolonged sun exposure

• Deodorant or fragranced products on freshly waxed areas

After 48 hours, gently exfoliating a few times a week can help keep the skin smooth and reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs.
