One of the most common side effects men experience after a body waxing treatment is dry skin. However, this condition is usually avoidable when you follow the proper post-care instructions from your waxing professional. Natural oils are removed from the skin throughout the male waxing process, which can lead to dry, flaky, cracked, or dull-looking skin. When you follow these simple tips, you won’t have to worry about those side effects and can have smooth and healthy skin after your body waxing treatment.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Hydration is an important component of healthy skin regardless of whether you just received a male waxing treatment or not. But it’s especially important to prioritize following your treatment. Drinking at least eight glasses of water each day combined with a healthy diet can promote proper hydration and keep your skin strong.
Don’t Skip The Moisturizer
You should wait at least one day after your body waxing treatment to start using moisturizers just to allow the skin pores to close fully. Then apply as much moisturizer as you feel you need and buy a thicker one for times when you might not be able to apply it as much as you would like. Skin moisturizers won’t hurt the skin when used properly and they can go a long way in ensuring you won’t experience dry skin.
Cool Down Your Shower
Not many things feel better than a long and warm shower after a long day. But if you’ve recently received a body waxing treatment, cool down the temperature of your water a bit. It doesn’t have to be cold, but just make it as cool as you can comfortably stand. Many men prefer taking a bath instead of a shower for a few days following their waxing treatment and combine it with using coconut oil or other moisturizers. And when you’re done with your bath or shower, pat the skin dry instead of rubbing it so you won’t risk stripping away more natural oils than necessary from the skin.
