Finally! The summer months are in full swing. The sun is shining, suitcases are pulled out of the closet, the Netherlands is temporarily exchanged for a vacation resort and the body is made hair-free. During these summer months, it is important to take extra care of your skin by applying good sunscreen. But did you know that taking care of your skin after waxing is super important? Proper care will prevent skin irritations and make you feel confident on the beach.
Below we take you through five steps to take care of your skin after waxing. In order to discover the best waxing results and prevent post-waxing irritations.
STEP 1: Care after waxing: the first 48 hours
Make sure your skin is well rested for the first 48 hours after waxing! After waxing, capillaries are extra sensitive, making your skin more prone to bacteria and irritation. But don't worry, you can easily prevent this by protecting your skin for two days. Avoid direct sunlight and postpone intense activities such as sports and sauna visits to prevent excessive sweating. For the men among us, change your shirt 2-3 times a day to keep your skin fresh and clean. This will keep your skin silky smooth and free of unwanted irritations!
STEP 2: The soap that cares and washes
For the first two days, rinse the newly waxed part of your body with water only! After that, it's time to pamper the skin with an antibacterial soap, such as our Aleppo Soap. This soap works wonders. It cares for the skin from the inside out and keeps it clean. Remember: always choose an antibacterial and alcohol-free soap. This will keep your skin radiant, healthy and ready for whatever your day brings!
STEP 3: Protect and keep it supple
Sun, sea, beach and changing climate can challenge your skin quite a bit. This can lead to the well-known feeling of dryness and tightness. It is therefore essential to keep your skin hydrated and supple. Our Coconut Balm is the perfect solution! It protects your skin from harmful external influences and also has an anti-inflammatory effect. This keeps your skin soft, radiant, and ready to face any challenge!
STEP 4: Get rid of dead skin cells
Scrub your skin 2-3 times a week in the shower or on dry skin for a silky smooth glow! To do this, use an antibacterial scrub with natural ingredients to care for your skin. Exfoliating will remove dead skin cells and say goodbye to ingrown hairs for good. Fun fact: regular exfoliation makes it even easier to remove hairs during your next waxing session! So scrubbing is not only good for your skin, but also for your waxing routine.
