The frequency of waxing depends on the individual’s hair growth and personal preference. Typically, body waxing services are recommended every four to six weeks, while facial waxing services can be done every two to four weeks.

Before your waxing appointment, it is recommended to exfoliate the area to be waxed to remove dead skin cells and ensure that the wax adheres to the hair properly. It is also recommended to avoid applying lotions or oils to the skin as they can interfere with the wax’s ability to grip the hair.

It is best to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after facial waxing to allow the skin to calm and heal. Similarly, it is recommended to prevent sweating and hot showers/baths for the first 24 hours after body waxing.

Tinting typically lasts up to three weeks but may fade faster depending on an individual’s skin type and daily activities. Exposure to water and sweat can cause tinting to fade faster.

How long does it take for pores to close after waxing?
The time it takes for pores to close after waxing can vary depending on various factors, such as skin type and sensitivity, the size of the pores, and the type of wax used. Generally, it takes about 24 to 48 hours for pores to close entirely after waxing. However, some people may experience slightly longer or shorter healing times. It is important to avoid picking at or irritating the skin during this time, as this can cause the pores to take longer to close.

Before waxing, cleaning the skin thoroughly and avoiding using products that may irritate it, such as exfoliating scrubs, is essential. It is also recommended to avoid sun exposure and use any products that contain retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids, as these can make the skin more sensitive to waxing. After waxing, avoiding sun exposure and sweating is essential, as this can cause skin irritation. It is also recommended to avoid using harsh or fragranced skincare products, applying any hot compresses, or taking hot showers, as this can also irritate the skin.

Waxing can cause temporary side effects, such as redness, itching, and minor skin irritation. These side effects are usually mild and typically go away within a few hours to a few days.

In some cases, waxing can also cause minor breakouts or ingrown hairs. It is important to avoid picking at or irritating the skin during this time, as this can cause the side effects to persist or worsen.

After waxing, avoid applying products that may irritate the skin, such as fragranced or alcohol-b is, vitalised products. It is also recommended to avoid using any hot compresses or taking hot showers, as this can also irritate the skin. Instead, it is recommended to use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to help soothe and provide facial hydration. Your skincare professional may also recommend using a specific product, such as a salicylic acid or tea tree oil, to help prevent ingrown hairs.
