Skin health and waxing will always go hand in hand. The integrity of your client’s skin before their service will always dictate the quality of their waxing experience, as well as their waxing results. Educating clients on the importance of using proper homecare, as well as activities to avoid right after their service, is imperative here to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and irritation.

THE IDEAL ROUTINE

Bodywash

The significant components of aftercare products include using the proper bodywash, exfoliator, moisturizer, and treatment product. A client’s bodywash shouldn’t strip their skin and throw off their skin’s pH level. Certain bar soaps and generic body washes will cause this, which leads to impaired barrier function, as well as increases the potential of your client getting ingrown hairs. Maintaining their skin’s acid mantle and the microbiome is key here. Professional-grade bodywashes that focus on preserving and aiding in skin health will drastically change your client’s wax results.
