Waxing is a popular treatment and offers great results at
affordable prices. It's best to exfoliate approximately 24
hours before a waxing treatment to ensure that any dry skin and
ingrown hairs are freed and maximum hair removal is
guaranteed. If you are having the treatment done for the
first time or are sensitive to pain it can be beneficial to have a
couple of Neurofen roughly an hour before to dull the pain
receptors. Once the waxing has been done it is important to
wear loose clothing, avoid excessive heat and heavily perfumed
products for roughly 24 hours, to prevent friction and ingrown
hairs.
If you are a fan of fake tan it's best
to get waxing done 24-48 hours before application to ensure that
the tan lasts and you get the best results from both
treatments.
If you are prone to sensitive skin a patch test is a wise idea and
all salons will offer this service. If no reaction has
occurred within 24 hours you shouldn't suffer with the
product. There are certain waxes that can be less sensitive
on the skin such as Oritree (used here at Appointment at
21).
There are home wax kits available but these are not for the faint
hearted!
Boots offer a selection of waxing products as well as hair removal
creams.
