How to avoid ingrown hair post wax

For the next 24-48 hours avoid on the waxed areas:

• Use of any type of exfoliating products (AHA's, loofahs, scrubs, etc.).  This includes scrubby gloves.
• Direct sun exposure and tanning beds
• Creams or lotions with fragrance or ingredients that may irritate
• Deodorant: it results in irritation and clogging of open follicles (when doing an underarm wax)
• Wearing tight clothing: results in irritation and inflammation
• Excessive heat, such as that from hot tubs and saunas. Warm showers are okay.
• Simply keep the waxed area clean and dry

After 24-48 hours, regular exfoliation with a shower gel and loofah or exfoliating glove will help keep skin soft and prevent ingrown hairs.

Apply an SPF 30 or greater sunscreen to any exposed treatment areas. Since waxing exfoliates as well as removing hair, your skin will be more prone to sunburn in the days following your treatment.
