Waxing is a popular hair removal method that has been around for centuries. While there are many hair removal options available today, waxing remains one of the most popular choices for people looking for a longer-lasting solution.
In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of waxing, why we choose to work with Outback Organics brand, the difference between them and Lycon wax, and the importance of following pre and post aftercare advice
Benefits of Waxing
There are many benefits to waxing, including:
Long-lasting results: Waxing removes hair from the root, so it takes longer for the hair to grow back. This means you can enjoy smoother skin for a longer period of time compared to other hair removal methods.
Reduced hair growth: With regular waxing, you may notice a reduction in hair growth over time. This is because the hair follicles become weaker and produce less hair.
No stubble: Unlike shaving, waxing removes hair from the root, so you don't have to deal with the unsightly stubble that can appear a few days after shaving.
Exfoliation: Waxing also exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and leaving your skin feeling smooth and silky.
Precision: Waxing allows for precision hair removal, making it a great option for shaping eyebrows or removing unwanted hair in sensitive areas.
Outback Organics vs. Lycon Wax
At our salon, we choose to work with Outback Organics brand for our waxing services. Outback Organics is a UK-based company that creates high-quality, natural waxing products. Their products are made with organic ingredients, and they are free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, and other harmful chemicals.
While Lycon wax is another popular waxing brand, we prefer Outback Organics because of their commitment to using natural ingredients. Lycon wax, on the other hand, contains synthetic resins and other additives that can irritate sensitive skin.
Pre-Care and Post-Wax After Care
Of course! Proper pre-care and after-care is crucial for achieving the best waxing results and maintaining healthy skin. Here are some pre-care and after-care tips that we recommend to our clients:
Pre-care:
Let the hair grow: It's important to let the hair grow to at least 1/4 inch before waxing. This allows the wax to adhere properly to the hair and remove it effectively.
Exfoliate: Exfoliating the area to be waxed a day or two before your appointment can help remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
Avoid caffeine: Caffeine can increase sensitivity, so we recommend avoiding caffeine for a few hours before your appointment.
Avoid sun exposure: Sun exposure can make the skin more sensitive, so we recommend avoiding sun exposure for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
After-care:
Avoid hot water: Avoid hot showers, baths, and saunas for at least 24 hours after waxing, as hot water can irritate the skin and cause redness.
Wear loose clothing: Tight clothing can irritate the skin, so we recommend wearing loose clothing after waxing.
Moisturize: Apply a soothing moisturizer to the waxed area to help reduce redness and irritation.
Avoid sun exposure: Sun exposure can cause further irritation to the skin, so we recommend avoiding sun exposure for at least 24 hours after waxing.
Avoid exfoliating: Avoid exfoliating the waxed area for at least 48 hours after waxing, as this can irritate the skin and cause redness.
By following these pre-care and after-care tips, you can help ensure the best waxing results and maintain healthy, smooth skin. If you have any questions or concerns about pre-care or after-care, don't hesitate to ask your esthetician.
