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
