Redness and bumps are normal after waxing. They can last anywhere from 20
minutes to a couple of days. White bumps on the upper lip, breakouts and
ingrown hair can also occur on any areas waxed . Avoid hot showers, tanning
and swimming after waxing procedures for 24 hours ... can make skin irritated
and bring more redness and swelling to area...... It is common to have
breakouts/bumps after waxing, it is caused due to body's defense system .
Also be advised that even with the greatest care, SOME lifting of skin, tearing or
bruising can occur due to what may be going on inside your body, skin condition, or
for whatever reason your skin is sensitive on that day....
And don't shave in between - that totally defeats the purpose!.
Plan your waxing appt. a week before an important event, not the day before or the
day of.
To prevent ingrowns or bumps use tend skin or exfoliate skin 1-2 x
weekly. You may also use tend skin the day after waxing or the day
of to prevent or keep to a minimum breakouts.....
Waxing is not performed on clients that are using prescription Accutane or Retin A,
Differin, Renova, Antibiotic, Avita, Glyquin, Accutane, Glycolic Acid or anothe
other skin thinners, Steroids or who are diabetic or any medically supervised skin
condition or using any kind of prescription prescribe by their doctor, If they have
had a chemical peel or a surgical procedure you should get a release from their dr
before you wax. You should wait 2-6 months after your treatment as ended before
resuming any waxing. Ask your doctor if unsure!
As all the above sensitise the skin and lifting of the skin will occur during a waxing
procedure causing really bad scarring.... please do not hold this information FROM
your esthetician...... even though the product is not applied around the eyes it does
travel....
Did you know that even using Antibiotics can make your skin more sensitive and
reactive to waxing! If you use aha creams please stop using 2-3 days before waxing
and do not use 1-2 days after waxing. Also remember that during menstruation or
pregnancy you will be more sensitive due to hormones thus possibly get
more red and irritated..
