Avoid direct sunlight – skin is prone to hyper pigmentation if in the sun after waxing.• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and other heated sources for at least 48 hours.• Avoid heavy exercise for at least 24hrs after waxing. Sweat is a breeding ground for bacteria.• Avoid tight clothing. Can irate and cause ingrown hairs.• No hot baths, hot showers or sexual activity for 10 hours after a Brazilian. While your pores are open, they are vulnerable to irritation by the extreme temperatures and infection by bacteria.• Make-up should not be applied to the area until 12hrs after waxing.
Male waxing: Men tend to have courser, curlier and thicker hair than women. Men can experience small pimples or rash that lasts for a few days after waxing. Usually on the chest, back and groin area. This is caused by bacteria that enter the open follicle, before and after perspiration.
•What are in grown hairs and what can I do to prevent them?
Ingrown hairs form when dry skin cells block the surface opening for hairs growing back after shaving, waxing, electrolysis or any other form of hair removal. Failing to grow out of the skin, the hairs curl inside the follicle underneath the skin and the resulting foreign body reaction causes an unsightly infectious bump. Both women and men suffer from ingrown hairs. To prevent ingrown hairs from forming you must follow the appropriate homecare advice:
Exfoliation: Removes the dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin. A coarse dry body mitt can be used on dry skin after waxing before showering each day. Drybrushing is a must. This needs to be done at least 2-3 times weekly, start 2 days after your waxing treatment
