3 Steps to the Perfect Post-Wax Care Routine
Whether you’re a regular waxer or just booked your first sugaring appointment, what you do after hair removal makes all the difference. The right post-wax care routine helps prevent bumps, ingrown hairs, and irritation—while keeping your skin smooth and glowing.
Good news: It doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow these 3 simple steps to care for your skin like a pro (and yes, we’ll share exactly when to exfoliate).
Step 1: Don’t Touch—Let Your Skin Rest (First 24–48 Hours)
Right after waxing, your skin is extra sensitive. The hair has been removed at the root, which leaves follicles open and more prone to irritation.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid:
-
Hot showers, steam, and sweating
-
Tight clothing or friction
-
Sun exposure and tanning beds
-
Heavily fragranced or alcohol-based products
Let your skin chill out, breathe, and reset. The more you leave it alone, the happier it will be.
Step 2: Hydrate + Soothe with Bikini Care Oil
Once the skin has calmed (typically later the same day), it’s time to lightly moisturize.
Our Bikini Care Oil is made for this. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, and packed with gentle, skin-loving ingredients. It helps:
-
Calm redness and irritation
-
Rebuild your skin barrier
-
Lock in hydration without clogging pores
Apply a few drops daily to the waxed area. It absorbs quickly, won’t leave residue on your clothes, and feels amazing after a wax.
Step 3: Start Exfoliating (But Not Too Soon)
Exfoliating is the best way to keep skin smooth and prevent ingrown hairs—but timing is everything. Wait 2–3 days after waxing before you exfoliate.
Then, use a gentle sugar scrub like our Bikini Care Scrub 2–3 times per week. It’s:
-
Designed specifically for sensitive skin
-
Free of salt or rough particles
-
Gentle enough for regular use
Use light pressure and a small amount—your goal is to buff, not scrub raw.
