How to prepare before Waxing procedure:

- Hair should be at least the size of the corn grain or half an inch.
- Wait three (3) weeks after shaving for the hair to be ready for waxing.
- Make sure to clean the area to be waxed specially with the bikini/brazilian procedure.
- Do not cut your hair before waxing.


Note: If you have been shaving and decided to wax, expect hair breakage during waxing. It is not as smooth as you think. It takes series of waxing to normalize the hair growth and thinning of hair.



How to treat your skin after waxing:

1. Exfoliate your skin twice a week after 3 days of your waxing procedure preferably with loofah and sea salt scrubs. Do not exfoliate more than what is advised to prevent dryness and sensitivity.

2. Treat your skin with Aloe Vera gel, Tend Skin or Bump free for one week after waxing. These products should be used only one week after waxing procedure since these are with alcohol contents that would make the skin dry if overused.

3. If you tend to be sensitive after waxing, please get yourself a cool shower or cool/cold compress and apply aloe gel/lotion after. Avoid tight clothing for a day to prevent irritation.
4. No swimming (pool or beach) within 24 hours after waxing.

5. Bump Free or Tend Skin is highly recommended to treat skin after waxing.

Barc bump down is a godsend. It stops ingrowns even when I shave (don't spank me) I know its bad.

Also, don't wax on the day your expecting some you know. It might end up getting irritated.
