How to Maintain Glowing Skin After Getting the Best Facial Wax

Waxing your skin is a great move. However, after getting smooth and flawless skin, it’ll remain very sensitive for up to 36 hours. During this period, you need to take good care of your skin. Here are some things you can do as part of your post-waxing routine.

Avoid Bathing

It’s a great idea to avoid bathing straight after your waxing session. This will prevent hot, soapy water from irritating your skin. When you do shower, use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser. It’s better to use non-scented soaps so your skin doesn’t become irritated. The warm water will allow your skin to work through the heightened sensitivity, but make sure it’s not too hot. You should also hold off exfoliation for about two to three days after waxing.

Use a Cold Compress

The feeling of soft and hairless skin after the best wax session is great. Unfortunately, there is some mild irritation right after a wax session. You can soothe this using a cold compress. You should apply the cold compress to the areas of your face where you’re experiencing redness and irritation. It can help soothe your pores and sensitive skin.

Moisturize

When you shower the day after your wax session, moisturize the skin with some gentle topical treatments. There are lots of products that promise to keep ingrown hairs away, so look for those as well as ones that contain glycolic and lactic acid. You should also find organic oils to treat the area daily to soothe and calm the skin. At Brazils Waxing Center, we carry a great moisturizer with shea butter and borututu root. Our exclusive product Repair is also great for waxing aftercare. It contains salicylic acid, glycolic acid and white willow bark extract to reduce redness and inflammation.

A facial wax is great, but to see the best results and to allow your skin to heal well, you should practice aftercare.
