How to Exfoliate for Waxing

Exfoliation is best way to avoid ingrown hairs! During a waxing appointment, each individual hair will be pulled from the root. As a result, a brand new baby hair will grow back in. Since this is a new hair, it will be softer and finer than a hair that has been shaved. Because of this, sometimes it can be harder for that fine hair to push through the skin, causing it to turn back under the skin and result in an ingrown hair. This is where exfoliation comes into play! How Does Exfoliating Work After Waxing? Exfoliating will get rid of that top layer of dead skin that can block those softer hairs from surfacing. In order to do this, either use some kind of scrub, an exfoliating glove, or even just a small towel to rub against the area. We also recommend using PFB Vanish after a shower to help get rid of dead skin cells and lift any stuck hairs underneath the skin. For more information on post wax care, click here. I always have customers that will not exfoliate in-between waxing appointments no matter how much I beg them. I also have customers who always exfoliate in-between waxing appointments! It is very easy to tell the difference between those who exfoliate and those who don’t simply how the hair responds. My customers who don’t want to exfoliate will have more ingrown hairs; issues with the hair not poking through the skin correctly and having excess dead skin on top. While my customers who always exfoliate will have perfect waxes and don’t have to deal with ingrown hairs or the hair not coming out. Lesson learned, exfoliate! “Relax and Chill” 24 hours after a wax is what we like to call the “Relax and Chill” period. Because we just pulled all the hairs from the root, there is now an open pore left exposed. This leaves the opportunity for bacteria and infection to invade the area leaving you with a not so pretty kitty. But don’t worry, we have ways to prevent you having any issues. No sex, working out, swimming, or anything that causes excessive rubbing for the area that was just waxed for 24 hours after the service was performed. By avoiding these things, you will greatly reduce the chance of having breakouts. After this time period is up, feel free to enjoy your new wax and do whatever you want! PFB Vanish is the best post care waxing serum out there. This magic in a bottle will help keep away ingrowns and blemishes. This product contains glycolic and salicylic acid which helps exfoliate and deflect bacteria from being able to enter the skin. It also encompasses willows bark which is called “nature’s aspirin” because of it’s ability to reduce pain. Say goodbye to ugly skin! Use this puppy twice a week and you’ll thank us later.
