Waxing is one of the safest and simplest ways to remove unwanted hair from your body. There are very few complications that occur following a men’s waxing appointment, but it’s important to follow the recommendations from your salon professional. You should be able to resume most normal activities shortly after your waxing for men appointment. However, these four things should be avoided for at least 48 hours after your session.
Too Much Physical Activity
It’s important to take a break from intense physical activity that could cause you to sweat after your full body waxing session. The sweat on your sensitive skin increases the risk of getting an infection and prolongs the healing process. You might also feel more irritation and rashes when your skin gets too warm, which will create some discomfort. The best thing to do is avoid too much physical activity for a couple of days after your session.
Direct Sun Exposure
When your skin has just been waxed, it can be very vulnerable and sensitive. If you can, it’s best to avoid direct sun exposure. However, this isn’t always possible, so if you have to be directly exposed to the sun, then be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen. It would also be helpful to wear long-sleeves, a hat, or other types of protection to keep your sensitive skin protected from direct UV rays.
Scented Skin Products
Your waxing professional will recommend certain products to use on your skin after your men’s waxing appointment. Be sure to follow these recommendations since many over-the-counter skin products contain chemicals and scents that could irritate your freshly waxed skin. The last thing you want to happen is to be uncomfortable because of irritation and make the healing process last longer than it needs to.
Hot Water
Not many things feel better than a hot shower or bath at the end of a long day. However, if you just had a full body waxing appointment, it’s best to avoid hot water for a couple of days. This also includes going into a swimming pool or the ocean, since chemicals and salt water can make your skin feel irritated. Opt for lukewarm bath or shower water for 48 hours or so and then you can resume using hot water after that.
