The Nail Bar Waxing Aftercare Do's and Don't

Waxing is the process of hair removal, in which, wax specialists use strip wax to effectively remove the hair from the root. Waxing is a safe, fast and economical treatment to get incredible smooth skin.

The Nail Bar Beauty & Co. specialises in facial waxing (full face wax, brow wax, lip & chin wax) and body waxing (underarm wax, leg wax, arm wax, and toe wax) for both her and him. Find out about waxing prices HERE.

After your wax, you’ll need to follow these aftercare instructions to achieve the best possible results:

Within the next 24 hours:

•         Avoid hot shower/water, saunas, salt, chlorinated water and exfoliation.
•         Do not use any scented product on the waxed area.
•         Strictly avoid wearing makeup if you had facial wax.
•         Do not wear tight fitting clothes if you had body wax.

In the next 1-2 weeks, scarring will occur if the waxed area lacks decent care. To maintain proper healing:  

•         Use after-waxing unscented products , such as creams, cooling moisturisers, moist towel, soothing aloe vera gel, icepacks, coconut oil.
•         Wear loose fitted clothing
•         Apply antibacterial ointment/cream followed by adhesive bandage if bleeding occurs.

Adverse reactions to waxing might occur, such as inflamed hair follicles, burning pain, skin irritation, redness, itching, swelling and ingrown hairs. To minimise these effects, apply a cool compress such as moist towel, aloe vera gel, cooling moisturisers.
