When you feel like it’s time to go for a male waxing appointment, you shouldn’t just walk into a salon and get treated. Your skin needs to be prepared properly to ensure the best results and a comfortable experience. The last thing you want is to be in pain during and after your back waxing appointment and not like the results. Here are some simple ways to prepare your skin for your next male waxing appointment.
Stay Hydrated
Hydration is key to having healthy skin. If you are dehydrated, your skin might be dry or cracked and lead to discomfort. In some situations, waxing professionals have had to tell customers their skin is too dry and ask them to come back another time. So when you know your waxing appointment is coming up in a couple of weeks, drink some extra water every day to ensure your skin is hydrated.
Exfoliate Lightly
A good tip to consider is to exfoliate your skin lightly a day or two before your waxing appointment. You don’t want to exfoliate too heavily, but you also want to remove any dead skin cells before you see your professional. This way, the wax will stick to the hair rather than the skin and provide more effective results. You don’t have to buy an expensive exfoliation product. A simple rub with a washcloth can do the trick.
Know When Is The Right Time To Shave
For the best male waxing results, your hair should be no longer than ½” long and no shorter than ¼” long. Your waxing professional will give you a timeline of when to shave before your appointment to achieve these results. For most people, it means shaving a couple of weeks before your appointment.
Clean And Moisturize Your Skin
It’s always a good practice to keep your skin clean, especially when you are going in for a male waxing appointment. You can even take it a step further by moisturizing your skin every day. Just be sure to stop moisturizing on the day of your appointment so it won’t impact how well the wax sticks to your hair.
