Bikini Season

Bikini season is drawing near and that means it's time to ditch the razors and go for waxing!

Things to remember about waxing:

1) Always notify your esthetician if you're on medication. Some drugs make the skin extra sensitive and delicate which is not ideal for waxing which pulls on the skin.

2) Do not use tanning beds 24 hours before or after getting a waxing because your skin is more vulnerable to rays.

3) Exfoliate 2-3 days before waxing. Exfoliating on the same day as waxing increases your likelihood of getting a skin irritation. Wait another 2 days or until your skin calms down to restart exfoliating. Exfoliating will ensure that you do not get ingrown hairs.

4) Do not apply any heavily perfumed lotions to your skin because your pores are open and are more likely to get irritated by the chemicals. Instead, apply tea tree lotion (which we sell!) which is antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial.

Sincerely,
