So, you have taken the plunge, found a licensed esthetician in Omaha, like Deb here at Waxology, and actually dared to go to the salon for your first Brazilian wax. After the initial embarrassment and pain, you may be tempted just to let everything down there be for a bit, but there are some dos and don’ts that you should be aware of between appointments. Afterward, there is some aftercare involved, especially if you plan on keeping up with your waxing sessions going forward, and following these dos and don’ts will make your next Omaha Brazilian wax an even better experience.
There are a couple of things to be aware of and keep an eye out for to keep your newly waxed skin in tip-top condition, and a licensed esthetician in Omaha will advise you of the necessary precautions. Infection can occur easily after waxing because the skin’s pores are opened up. Irritation and redness are common straight away afterward; after all, you did just have the hairs removed swiftly out of your skin, but if this lasts any longer than a day or two, then something isn’t right. Let’s take a closer look at what you should and shouldn’t do in between your Omaha Brazilian wax sessions to keep your area in its best condition.
What To Do Between Brazilian Waxes
After your initial Brazilian waxing session, a licensed esthetician in Omaha, like Deb here at Waxology will advise you on exactly what to do for the best aftercare.
It is recommended to exfoliate a couple of days after the appointment and then once a week until your next Omaha Brazilian wax. However, be careful not to exfoliate your bikini or intimate area every day or for the first few days after waxing as this can be too much for the area’s delicate skin.
It is advisable to use an intimate wash or a neutral soap when showering so as not to irritate the area’s delicate skin further. It is also best to wear underwear that is loose-fitting, comfortable, and is made from natural fabric like cotton to allow the skin to breathe.
If you notice any ingrown hairs in your intimate area and around the bikini line, use lotion on them. You can also exfoliate the ingrown hairs gently, and when the hair comes to the surface, disinfect the area and use a disinfected tweezers to remove any ingrown hairs.
It is a good idea to use an antibacterial lotion if there are any pimples in the area. This will reduce the risk of infection after your Omaha Brazilian wax.
After your first Brazilian wax, you need to decide if you are going to commit to a Brazilian waxing routine going forward. As Deb, our licensed esthetician in Omaha at Waxology salon, will advise, consistency is key to getting the smoothest results. As waxing pulls your hair from the root, the follicle gets damaged over time, which means that your hair grows back less and finer with each wax.
What Not To Do Between Brazilian Waxes
As already mentioned above, it’s not a good idea to exfoliate every day as the intimate skin of your bikini line is more sensitive than on the rest of your body. A licensed esthetician in Omaha, Deb at Waxology, will advise you not to wear underwear that is tight and uncomfortable, especially straight away after your Omaha Brazilian wax appointment.
It is recommended to avoid using regular soap and body washes as they do not have the right pH balance for the delicate skin of the intimate region. It is also wise not to pick at any ingrown hairs with your bare hands or tweezers without first disinfecting them as you run the risk of infecting them.
Never ever shave your areas in between waxing sessions! It will throw off your waxing schedule, and as shaving cuts the hair at an angle on the surface of the skin, it causes the hair to look coarser, darker, and feel pricklier.
