Waxing Aftercare

Avoid hot showers, saunas, swimming, strenuous exercise, or lying in the sun for the first 24 hours

Stay in loose, comfortable clothing for the rest of the day after waxing to avoid any irritation caused by rubbing

Soothe and calm your skin with Tea Tree Lotion. It is a great way to protect your skin's barrier and calm any redness. Tea tree lotion includes an antibacterial agent that prevents ingrown hairs. It is the perfect after-wax aid suitable for the body and face. This can be purchased in the salon

Exfoliate the skin with a body glove or scrub every week. This will assist hairs to penetrate the skin and keep it nice and soft

If you do get ingrown hairs- use Ingrown-X-It Cream. Spot treat ingrown hairs or massage into the affected area, twice a day. The cream works to draw out the infection rapidly without causing any trauma to the skin. This can be purchased in the salon

Numbing Spray- if you are sensitive to waxing, you can purchase numbing spray from the salon to use before your next appointment

Spray Tanning Before & Aftercare

BEFORE:

Wear loose fitting clothing

Loose fitting clothes, such as a baggy t-shirt or dress and flip flops

Exfoliate at least 4 hours before appointment

Exfoliating or shaving several hours before appointment gives your pores time to close to avoid discolouration

Shower several hours before your spray tan appointment

If your skin is damp and your pores are exposed, the spray tan formula will not stick to your skin properly. Finish your shower with a cold rinse to close your pores

Avoid moisturisers, deodorant & makeup

Come to your appointment with clean skin. Moisturisers, deodorants, makeup and other skincare products are likely to prevent the spray tan formula from sticking to your skin

Complete all other beauty services first

Be sure to take care of all beauty services such as waxing, manicures, pedicures, facials and massages before your appointment, otherwise your tan may be rubbed off

Eyebrow tint, dye or henna may only be applied 24hrs before OR after your spray tan

Sometimes spray tan can react to freshly done eyebrow tint, turning it an orange or green colour

AFTER:

Don’t exfoliate until you are ready to say goodbye

When you are ready to get rid of your tan, use a gentle exfoliating mitt to create the perfect canvas for your next spray tan

Shower 1-3 hours after your spray tan

Shower with a water-only rinse, 1-3 hours after your spray tan, depending on how dark you like it. Do not use any body washes for your first shower after tanning. Use a tan friendly body wash for future showers

Moisturise with a tan friendly moisturiser

Moisturise morning and night to maximise the longevity of your tan

Avoid long showers and steam rooms

Hot water and steam will cause your skin to loosen its hold on the spray tan

Stay away from anything that may strip your tan

Avoid harsh chemicals, such as chlorine in pools or hot tubs
