Staying Smooth during Swimsuit Season

What You Need to Know About Bikini Waxing

Ladies: it’s swimsuit season and we all want to look and feel our best! If you’ve picked out the perfect swimsuit and are ready to enjoy time by the pool or on the beach, you want to feel your best. Bikini waxing is the best way to ensure you look and feel fabulous in your swimsuit.

While you may know the basics about this smoothing service,  here’s just a few more tips and reminders about things you can do make sure you look and feel beautiful:

• To prevent hair from growing back in patches, try to wax on a set schedule. Depending on your personal preference, try to have a 3 to 6 week schedule for repeat waxing.
• Be sure to wait a day after waxing before jumping into the pool to give your skin a little downtime.
• Also don’t wear tight clothes and don’t work out immediately after. Your skin needs to recover.
• To prevent ingrown hairs and bikini bumps, be sure to exfoliate the area before waxing. Post-waxing, you should dab a treatment that contains glycolic acid or salicylic.
• Try taking some Aspirin or Ibuprofen about 45 minutes before your waxing to reduce pain. These meds also have anti-inflammatory components that can help afterwards.
• Try scheduling your appointment in the afternoon after 3PM if pain is a serious issue for you. For many women, the pain threshold is higher later in the day.

These are just a few tips to making you more comfortable and to look great before and after your waxing. For specific questions and concerns, never hesitate to ask your aesthetician.
