Before and After Waxing Care

Waxing or sugaring can leave the skin vulnerable and sensitive, so it's essential to take care of your skin before and after your appointment. Sweet Honey Brazilian Wax provides a list of waxing do's and don'ts that will help give you the best results.

If it's your first time getting waxed, or even if it's not, here are a few things to consider before your appointment:

• If you have been shaving, you must let your hair grow out for at least two weeks; it has to be the size of a rice grain.
• Gently exfoliate the skin before waxing and loosen the hair follicles between your wax appointments.
• Exfoliating your skin with a sugar scrub or exfoliating gloves is important to keep your pores unclogged from dead skin, so when your new hair is growing out, it will have a free way to cross your skin without ingrow.
• If you're waxing for a special event, try coming in 2 to 3 days prior.
• Keep the area being waxed free of any lotion or oil.
• If you take Accutane, you must stop use for at least six months before getting a wax.
• If you have had a chemical peel, you must wait four weeks before getting a wax.
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure or tanning for a few days before waxing.
