Whether you are an athlete or body builder, or you simply prefer the look and feel of sexy, smooth bare skin, I can take care of you.

Here are a few handy tips to both help you prepare for a more comfortable waxing experience and enjoy your results for longer:

Pre-Wax Preparation

  • Shower and gently exfoliate the area to be waxed. You can buy an exfoliating mitt from your Chemist. The key word here is GENTLY!
  • Use the mitt in a circular motion. Because waxing eventually weakens the growth of your hair, this will help to prevent ingrown hairs. If you have never experienced ingrown hairs, trust me when I say that they can be very sore, and they are NOT a good look!
  • Don’t use any moisturizer or lotions on the area to be waxed after your shower as this will stop the wax from adhering to the hair as effectively.
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing. This is especially important if you are having a Brazilian wax. You don’t have to remove your underwear for the procedure if you don’t feel comfortable, however,  I can obviously do a much better job if I don’t have to work around tight underwear.
  • Depending on your pain threshold (or if it is your first time), you may want to take a couple of Panadol half an hour before your treatment. This can really help to knock the edge off the ‘ouch’ factor.

After Care Tips

  • Do NOT sunbake immediately after a waxing treatment for at least 12 hours. If you must, 24 hours is preferable. I cannot over emphasize this. Your skin is very vulnerable and exposed, so the last thing you want to do is potentially burn it in the sun.
  • Stay away from the beach, chlorinated pools, hot tubs or spas for at least 12 hours after a waxing treatment. Again, your skin is in a sensitive state, and should not be unnecessarily exposed to harsh chemicals which may aggravate it further.
  • Beware of condoms/lubricants during the first 12 hours in case they cause an adverse reaction.
  • On the other hand, don’t have unprotected sex, the pores of your skin have been opened by the warm wax, and unprotected sex may leave you at risk of infection.
  • Get a good quality Vitamin E cream to use on the waxed areas in between waxing. This will keep your skin moisturized and leave it feeling soft and smooth.
  • After the first 24 hours, gently exfoliate your skin on a regular basis. This will help to prevent those nasty ingrown hairs.
