Here we give you the most effective tips so that you can take care of your body when waxing.
One of the best tricks to avoid pimples after waxing is that, days before undergoing waxing, you exfoliate the skin of the area you want to treat. With this, you will make the skin cleaner and, therefore, the removal of hair is easier. Exfoliation also removes dead cells, therefore, the pores will be more open and you will prevent hair from growing inward.
It is very important that you always take care of your skin, but even more so when you shave. After a waxing session you should moisturize the area with your usual moisturizing cream. In addition, you should hydrate your body on a daily basis, at least after the shower so that your body is perfectly nourished, without cracks and without drying out. If waxing hurts, you can opt for natural creams made from soothing ingredients, such as aloe vera or rosehip oil.
Another of the tips to avoid pimples after waxing is that you always try to do it with the help of professionals. Many times, hair removal at home is the one that produces the most injuries and problems because not everyone has the knowledge or the necessary care to remove hair. If you come to the Lidia Sánchez Aesthetic Center you will only find qualified and experienced professionals who will help you eliminate body hair and give you a silhouette in perfect condition.
We have already commented that the hair removal methods most prone to the appearance of folliculitis are the blade and the wax. For this reason, we want to highlight some tips that you can apply if you use the blade. This technique is very popular because it is non-invasive and hardly causes pain; however, it is very drying and can damage the skin. To minimize the aggression of the blade , keep the following in mind:
Always use a new blade
Use blades specially designed for body hair removal (avoid those typical for male shaving)
Do not over-tighten the blade as you could injure your skin
Finally, to avoid pimples after waxing, you also need to know some essential tips. Wax is another of the most used methods because it offers a better result than the blade; but if hair removal is not done correctly, folliculitis can appear and pimples appear on our body. To do this, you must take into account the following:
Take into account the direction of the hair to epilate to the opposite side
Control the temperature: in general, you should use a wax that is less than 40ºC
Clean and dry your skin before applying the wax to reduce lesions or wounds
These are the tips to avoid folliculitis after waxing that we wanted to give you from the Lidia Sánchez Aesthetic Center. However, best of all, opt for permanent hair removal and switch to laser: you can forget about body hair once and for all and have soft, clean skin.
