When the temperatures get hot, you can’t help but want to expose more of your skin to stay cool. That’s why summer is one of the most popular times of year for men’s waxing. Getting a waxing treatment during the summer can be seamless as long as you follow the post-treatment recommendations from your waxing professional. Here are some tips to consider to ensure you have a great experience.
Exfoliate A Couple Of Days After Your Waxing Treatment
A few days after your men’s waxing treatment, gently exfoliate your skin on the treated area. Your waxing professional will provide recommendations on which products to use. Exfoliating can reduce skin irritation and ingrown hairs to make for a more comfortable recovery. It will also give your skin the silky smooth feeling you desire.
Stay Out Of The Sun For A Few Days
It’s very important to refrain from being out in the sun for prolonged periods after your waxing for men treatment. Again, this is only a recommendation for the first few days following your treatment since your skin will be sensitive. It might be tempting to cool off in a swimming pool as well, but the pool chemicals could cause irritation. It’s best to keep your skin cool by staying indoors as much as possible for a few days after your treatment.
Keep Your Skin Clean
Whether you had a back waxing appointment, facial waxing, or waxed any other area, keeping the treated area clean is essential. Your fingers have bacteria on them which can cause irritations or infections on newly waxed skin. Try to avoid exercising that causes excessive sweating for a few days also since the sweat can cause irritations.
Apply Moisturizer And Avoid Tight-Fitting Clothing
Moisturizing your skin after your men’s waxing appointment is essential. Without a moisturizer, your waxed skin could dry out and crack, scab, or even bleed in extreme situations. Simply rub a gentle moisturizing product over the area a few times each day for a few days to avoid these issues. It’s also best to avoid tight-fitting clothing so you can allow your skin to breathe and heal quicker.
