Spring is here, which means it’s time for bikini season. Whether you’re hitting the beach or meeting friends at the pool, a professional spa waxing treatment is an excellent way to quickly remove hair and keep all areas of your body looking smooth and supple. By taking care of your skin after you wax, you will prevent ingrown hairs and improve its appearance. Below is a guide on what spa professionals recommend for your post-appointment regimen. 

What to Do 

If your skin is red or uncomfortable after your appointment, apply a cold compress to the area. After waiting at least a day, exfoliate the area with a body scrub. Repeat this process a few times per week. 

Once you’re done with the sugar treatment, apply a moisturizer to prevent bumps. Creams containing witch hazel, aloe, and tea tree oil will reduce irritation and prevent acne breakouts. You can also soak in a salt bath to prevent infections and help with the exfoliation process. 

To reduce your chances of developing ingrown hairs, apply a serum specially designed to prevent them. Ask your spa specialist about the products they recommend. Schedule another waxing session after three to four weeks to maintain smooth skin. 

What to Avoid 

Engaging in certain activities too quickly after a wax can cause a breakout or rash. Avoid tanning, steam rooms, and massages for a couple of days. Additionally, don’t swim, use a hot tub, or take a bath for at least a day afterward. You can also reduce your chances of skin problems by avoiding tight clothing and reducing strenuous exercise for about 24 to 48 hours.
