Skin Care Tips

Thank you for choosing Wax Dreamz for your hair removal services! We hope to make
your experience as pleasant as hair removal can be. Keeping these tips in mind will
help to make your visit as comfortable and painless as possible. However, please keep
in mind that it is impossible to predict how any individual’s skin will react, no matter how
many precautions are taken. To fully experience the benefits of waxing, it is important to
maintain the schedule recommended by your Wax Artist.

BEFORE WAXING

• Please allow 2 or more weeks of hair growth before your visit. Hair should be at
least ½ inch in length.
• Arrive to your appointment freshly showered.
• Do not apply self-tanner, moisturizer, or any abrasive body or facial scrubs.
• We recommend wearing loose fitting clothes to your appointment, especially for
services in the bikini area.
• Try to limit caffeine intake as it can stimulate the nervous system.
• Avoid taking pain medications, like Advil or Tylenol, as it can lead to adverse
reactions including, but not limited to, thinning of the skin,
dehydration, and bruising.
• For services in the bikini area, attempt to schedule your appointment within the
first 2 weeks after your cycle has ended (this is the time that you are less
sensitive.) However, you can receive a service during your cycle, if you are able
to wear a menstrual cup or tampon; just anticipate additional sensitivity.
• Certain products and medications can prevent us from providing hair removal
services. These products include, but are not limited to: Accutane, Retin-A,
Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxyl Acid, Taxorac Avage, Differin, Strivectin, Renova,
Proactiv, Avita, Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic

AFTER WAXING

FIRST 24 – 48 HOURS AFTER WAXING:
• Continue to wear loose fitting clothing after a service. For the bikini area
specifically, do not wear underwear, if possible.
• Attempt to not sweat in the area where hair was removed.
• Limit sun exposure. If you’re unable to avoid, be sure to use SPF lotion.
• Avoid hot water and bodies of water (pools, ocean, lakes, saunas, hot tubs, etc.)
• Do not use lotions, oils, exfoliants, perfumes, or deodorants, unless approved by
your Wax Artist.

CONTINUED HOME CARE FOLLOWING WAXING SERVICE:

• Avoid picking, plucking, and /or tweezing in between appointments. This can cause hair breakage resulting in stubble. • 24-48 hours after you service, moisturize you skin daily with a light oil (i.e. olive oil, coconut oil, or sunflower oil).
