At Boho Waxing & Skin I exclusively use Berodin professional hard wax because it is less painful, gentler on sensitive skin, and more effective on a wide variety of hair types than soft wax. For more information, please check out The Benefits of Hard Wax vs Soft Wax.
No matter what route you choose, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you get the best experience. Here are five tips to help make your waxing session as comfortable and effective as possible:
Exfoliate Before Your Appointment: Lightly exfoliate your skin a day or two before your waxing session to remove dead skin cells. This helps the wax adhere better to your hair, making the removal process more effective and less painful.
Avoid Moisturizers on the Day of Waxing: Skip using lotions, oils, or moisturizers on the day of your appointment. Clean, dry skin ensures better wax adhesion and a smoother waxing process.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydrated skin is more supple and can make the waxing process more comfortable and efficient.
Choose the Right Timing: Schedule your waxing appointment mid-cycle, avoiding the days right before or during your menstrual period when your skin may be more sensitive.
Follow Aftercare Instructions: To maintain smooth, healthy skin post-waxing, avoid hot baths, sun exposure, and tight clothing for at least 24 hours. Regular exfoliation and moisturizing can also help prevent ingrown hairs and keep your skin in top condition.
By following these tips, you can enhance your waxing experience, minimize discomfort, and achieve long-lasting smoothness. Whether you're a waxing pro or a newcomer, proper preparation and aftercare will make all the difference in your waxing routine.
