Premier Body Waxing By The Lux Haven

The longevity of a full body wax depends on your hair growth cycle. Most people need to rebook in about three to four weeks. However, some can also wait up to six weeks before returning to the salon. Your hair growth depends on your genetics, age and hormones.

Additionally, different parts of your body have different growth rates. For instance, the hair under your arms might grow back quicker than the hair on your legs. The more regularly you wax, however, the longer you can break between waxes.

If you are new to full-body waxing, ask your esthetician for custom aftercare tips. Exfoliate and moisturize your body daily to avoid ingrown hairs. Avoid harsh products that might irritate your skin and look for gentle moisturizers. To avoid an infection, consider lotions that include dead sea salts or tea tree oil. Also, refrain from using heavily scented bathing products and moisturizers.

Avoid fake tanning, saunas, hot showers or heavy exercise for at least 24 to 48 hours to prevent hair follicle clogging. Treat your skin with kindness and it will keep your skin youthful, vibrant and smooth.

Bikini waxes are daunting, at first. In fact, most people new to bikini waxes are afraid of the pain. To alleviate some of your worries, consider taking an ibuprofen or aspirin before the waxing appointment to combat inflammation. Your body's pain response will depend on your skin sensitivity and overall pain tolerance. If you are worried about your pain tolerance, speak to the esthetician ahead of time. He or she can help relax you during the procedure.

Waxers will apply soothing creams to calm your skin after waxing. Additionally, you can use hydrocortisone to reduce redness and irritation. Try to take it easy after the waxing. Do not exercise or wear tight clothing that may irritate your freshly waxed skin.

If your hair is too short, the wax may not adhere to it. Even if it does adhere, there's a chance the hair will break in half and you'll irritate your skin in the process. One of the benefits of full-body waxing services is that it allows you to grow all of your hair at roughly the same rate as long as the wax could address each problem area.

Let your hair grow at least one-quarter of an inch. While hair should never be too short, also keep it below half an inch. If you have longer body hair, consider trimming with a pair of haircutting shears prior to the appointment.
