It is important to follow after-care instructions to ensure your skin heals properly to minimize irritation or infection. Refrain from touching the waxed/sugared area to prevent bacteria from getting into the open hair follicles. Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or the ocean for at least 24 hours due to potential bacteria and chlorine that can irritate the skin.
This also applies to hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise that might cause sweating for at least 24-48 hours. You can use a cool compress or Tuel Super Soothe to soothe the skin and reduce redness and irritation if necessary. Keep the waxed area out of the sun and away from tanning beds for at least 24-48 hours to prevent hyperpigmentation and irritation. If you must be in the sun, use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and reapply as directed such as Tuel Daily Defense.
Tight fitting clothing can irritate the treated area so opt for loose, breathable fabrics. Avoid using scented lotions, perfumes, and harsh skincare products on the treated area for at least 24-48 hours. Do not exfoliate the area for 48 hours after treatment. If you are prone to ingrown hairs, Tuel ClearIt can help.Drink plenty of water to help your skin stay hydrated and heal faster. If you notice any signs of infection (such as increased redness, swelling, or pus), consult a healthcare professional.
