After waxing

Let’s say that you’ve just had a waxing session and you feel like showering will make your skin feel better. But this is not true; your skin needs at least 24 hours to recover, and doctors advise you to wait this time before showering after waxing.

When you are waxing, the hair is removed completely, pulled out from the root, and this leaves behind the open hair follicle. These open pores are extremely sensitive, and if disturbed, can cause irritation. This is why you should not expose them to hot water.

Also, the products you use when you are washing yourself can be harsh on the open hair follicles, again making things worse. For this reason, it’s best to avoid these products immediately after waxing to allow your skin to heal naturally.

So, when you have a big event or vacation, you should plan better. Schedule your waxing session a few days in advance to give your skin the time it needs to recover. If you really need to clean yourself in those first 24 hours after waxing, you can try to stick to a gentle, lukewarm rinse and avoid scrubbing or applying any products to the waxed area.
