Congrats! You survived your first Brazilian wax
Alright, here’s the tea. Don’t skip this…..
So, you survived your first bikini wax—congrats! Here’s what you need to know. That first session clears most of the hair chilling above the skin, but here’s the deal: hair grows in cycles ( The sneaky ones hiding below the surface? Those will get the boot during your next few waxes. Stick with it for 3-4 sessions, and boom—your hair will finally get on the same page, giving you results that actually last.
Now, let’s talk aftercare because waxing isn’t just a ‘one and done’ deal. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week to keep your skin silky smooth and ingrown-free. Oh, and don’t forget to baby your skin with our after-wax MVPs. These luxe products are like the Beyoncé of skincare—banishing bumps, kicking ingrowns to the curb, and keeping your skin glowing. You can snag them at our Eagan Waxing studio near you. Trust me, your skin will thank you.
Here’s the wax tea for the next 48 hours
No Sun, Please!
Tanning beds, sunbathing, or anything UV-related? Hard no for 48 hours. Your skin needs a break from the rays.
Sweat It Out… Later
Gym sessions and steamy workouts can wait. Sweaty pores = irritated skin. Just don’t do it. If you are naturally sweaty, cleanse the skin often, or use our Ingrown Serum.
Hot Tubs Are a Hot NO
Hot tubs, baths, and anything resembling a steam room are off-limits. Keep it cool, literally.
Hands Off the Goods
Touching, poking, or prodding your freshly waxed skin is a no-go. Let it breathe!
Sex on Pause
Yep, you read that right. No sex is worth a bacterial infection.
Granny Panties FTW
Forget the lacy thongs and leggings. Avoid any tight, restrictive clothing. Grab the granniest panties you own! Your skin will love you for it, and honestly, you might never look back.
Antibacterial Soap Is Your New BFF
For the next several days, cleanse waxed with antibacterial soap to keep icky bacteria away.
Possible Side Effects of Bikini & Body Waxing
So..after your wax…
Your first bikini wax? It’s like hitting the reset button on your skin. Most of the hair above the surface gets evicted, but here’s the catch: hair grows in cycles. The undercover hairs lurking below the skin? They’ll show up to the party during your next few waxes.
Stick with it for three to four sessions, and voilà—all your hair will finally sync up like a well-rehearsed boy band, giving you smooth, longer-lasting results you’ll love!
Redness
No need to panic—it’s just your skin’s way of saying, “What the hell did you do to me?!?” It usually fades anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days, depending on how dramatic your skin likes to be.
Itching
We get it—itching freshly waxed skin is so tempting. But resist the urge to scratch like your life depends on it! Your skin is extra sensitive right now, and scratching will only make things worse. If the itch is driving you nuts, slap on some aloe vera or our Ingrown Hair Serum to calm things down.
Bumps
Post-wax irritation is pretty common and should vanish on its own in a few hours to a couple of days. For extra soothing power, our Ingrown Hair Serum is a lifesaver. It’ll tackle bumps, ingrowns, and even breakouts like a pro.
Ingrown Hairs
Nobody invited ingrown hairs to this party, so let’s kick them out before they even show up. Use our Ingrown Hair Serum and Exfoliating towels as your dynamic duo. They’re like little skin superheroes, calming irritation, preventing bumps, and brightening skin.
Stubble
Noticed some rogue hairs right after your wax? Don’t panic—it’s just those sneaky hairs growing on their own schedule. Daily moisturizing is your secret weapon here; it keeps hair soft and ready for removal at your next appointment.
The Secret to waxing? Consistency.
After your first waxing session at our St. Paul Wax Center, it only gets easier—as long as you stay consistent. For your first 4-6 waxes, book every 4-5 weeks. During this time, you’ll notice your hair getting sparser and patchier, and you might think, “Wow, I barely have any hair left! I’m going to push my appointment out.” Don’t do it! Staying on schedule is the key to long-term results, and over time, you’ll be able to stretch out the time between waxes.
And whatever you do, DO NOT SHAVE. Seriously, picking up a razor is like hitting a big, shiny reset button. It’ll undo all your progress and make your next wax feel like day one all over again. Stick to waxing, and let us keep you smooth like a the pros we are.
