Exfoliating

[{"selector":"#anim-824d85da-1a7b-4009-bd2d-8f55d08c1abc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Instead of exfoliating the day of your waxing, do so a day or two beforehand. It will remove old, dead skin cells and free hair that has become lodged. As a result, wax sticks solely to hair and not to any dead skin cells, making hair removal simpler.

Apply moisturizer

[{"selector":"#anim-fda7ee33-b146-4e66-b762-08671aed6f22 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-8.689866134901713%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

[{"selector":"#anim-847b10f5-40b3-4499-81f7-54c5bb881ef5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(10.760869531291581%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Moisturise the day before your wax for the greatest results. After, you can moisturise to help calm the skin and stop ingrown hairs. Your skin will be moisturised with body lotion, which will also aid in reducing the rate of hair development.

After wax cream

[{"selector":"#anim-a94b0b11-d113-493c-b72b-fb20b3ac52f8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.8518466802220737%, -20.161289303097938%) scale(1.403225806451613)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Apply the cream after waxing for a few days. It helps in soothing skin, reduces redness and helps prevent the little white spots some people get on their top lip or eyebrows after waxing. Prefer using a cream with sun protection.

Do not wet your hair before waxing

[{"selector":"#anim-fe5735f2-7f55-433e-889b-45268e97ed20 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(14.80611042326042%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Getting your hair wet right before the hair removal session may cause hair to break and make you more prone to ingrown hair. Try to stay dry for at least 2 hours before you do your waxing.

Let it develop

For the finest waxing results, wait 2-3 weeks or until a quarter-inch of hair has grown. Allow at least 2 weeks of hair growth prior to a waxing appointment to avoid shaving and give the wax something to adhere to.
