When you arrive for your appointment you will be asked to fill out a form. This is important because we need to know if there are any contraindications to your waxing service. Certain topical creams, prescriptions and health issues can affect and damage your skin and it's important to make sure waxing is a safe option for you!
Do not shave for at least two weeks before your wax! Hair must be at least 1/4 inch for waxing (The length of a grain of rice)
For best results do not shave between waxes. Return for waxing every 3 to 4 weeks for best results. If you do this, hair will grow in finer and slower. It will also make for a much more comfortable waxing experience!
No client on Accutane will be waxed at Creme de la Skin. If you have taken Accutane in the past you must have stopped using it at least 3 months prior.
Waxing cannot be performed while you are using Retin A or any prescription retinoid/vitamin A product. You must stop using these products at least 5 days before your wax. Many prescription acne products contain this so please check with your doctor first.
No tanning 24 hours before or after your wax.
No steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs or hot showers for 24 hours after your wax.
No waxing over varicose veins.
Exfoliating with a loofah 24 hours before and after, and then on a regular basis (2 to 3 times a week), can prevent ingrown hairs.
Wait 24 hours before applying self tanners.
Avoid getting waxed the week before your period. Your skin will be more sensitive during this time.
Avoid caffeine before your wax. This will make you more sensitive, also.
