After Your Wax: How to Soothe and Protect Your Skin

🧖‍♀️ Just Waxed? Now Let’s Keep That Skin Calm & Smooth

You just walked out of Solara Sol Beauty with skin that’s smooth, hair-free, and fabulous. But wait—your post-wax care is just as important as the wax itself. These simple aftercare steps will help reduce redness, prevent irritation, and keep you glowing until your next appointment.

✅ Post-Wax Do’s: Love On Your Skin

✔️ Apply a Soothing Gel or Serum

Aloe vera or witch hazel-based products can calm inflammation and reduce redness.I’ve got my faves in-studio—ask me what’s best for your skin type.

✔️ Wear Loose Clothing

Let your skin breathe. Tight fabrics = friction = irritation. Cotton is your BFF right now.

✔️ Keep the Area Clean

Gently wash with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Skip exfoliants and active ingredients for at least 48 hours.

✔️ Start Exfoliating in 2–3 Days

Once the skin has calmed down, use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt 2–3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs and maintain smoothness.

✔️ Hydrate Daily

Keep your skin soft and supple with a non-comedogenic, fragrance-free moisturizer.

🚫 Post-Wax Don’ts: Avoid These Mistakes

✖️ No Hot Baths, Saunas, or Steamy Showers

For 24–48 hours. Heat opens pores and can lead to breakouts.

✖️ No Sweaty Workouts

Working out right after a wax = bacteria, irritation, and possibly ingrowns. Give it a day.

✖️ No Touching or Picking

Tempting? Maybe. Smart? Never. Keep your hands off to prevent infection or scarring.

✖️ Skip Scented Products

No perfumes, lotions, or sprays on freshly waxed areas—fragrance = burn risk.
