Wax treatments are temporary hair removal methods that remove the hair from the roots. There are two kinds of wax, namely hard wax and soft wax. Soft wax is removed using so-called strips. Hard wax is left to harden up and then removed without strips. Soft wax is used for larger areas whereas hard wax is only used for sensitive areas such as the face, bikini line, and under-arms. Hard wax attached only to the hairs, not to the skin, making the treatment less painful.
For the first 24 hours after waxing:
Don’t take a hot shower or a hot bath;
Don’t sunbathe or use a sunbed
Don’t go swimming;
Don’t use any scented products, self-tanning creams, or other oily creams;
Wear comfortable loose-fitting clothes, no tight clothes or clothes which don’t breathe.
And after 3 days:
Scrub the skin 3 times per week to keep skin soft and smooth and to prevent ingrowing hairs.
