We recommend using 86 Skin Foam to cleanse the skin before waxing. Shake first, then push one or two pumps of foam onto your palm and massage into the applicable area and you are ready to go! Easy as that!

Exfoliating before waxing is a great idea, to help remove dead skin cells and any buildup on the skin’s surface. This allows the wax to grip directly to the hair and not dry skin, for less tugging and a less painful experience. It also helps release trapped hairs from beneath the skin’s surface, preventing ingrown hairs. Gently exfoliate 24-48 hours before your waxing session.

Pre-Wax Care:
Gently exfoliate 24-48 hours before to remove dead skin cells and help prevent ingrown hairs. Avoid harsh scrubs immediately before waxing, as this can make the skin more sensitive. Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your appointment, as they can increase skin sensitivity. A warm shower before your appointment can open up pores, making hair removal easier but avoid applying any lotions, oils, or deodorants to the area, as these can prevent the wax from adhering properly. Wear comfortable clothing to allow your skin to breathe post wax.
Post-Wax Care:
The skin will be sensitive, so avoid touching or scratching to prevent irritation or infection. Apply a gentle post-wax product or aloe vera gel to calm the skin and reduce redness. Avoid heavy lotions that might clog pores. For 24-48 hours, avoid activities that could cause friction, heat, or irritation in the waxed area. This includes exercise, tanning, saunas, hot tubs, and sexual activity. Give your skin time to heal before engaging in activities that might irritate the freshly waxed area. Following these steps will help ensure that your skin stays smooth, free from irritation, and ingrown-hair-free after a Brazilian wax.
