Keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction during the next 24hours. This means:

• No hot baths or showers
• No saunas, hot tubs or steam treatments
• No tanning (sunbathing, sun beds or fake tan)
• No sport, gym work or other exercise
• Wear loose fitting clothes
• Avoid swimming
• Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area
• To soothe and protect the skin, apply an antiseptic cream to the waxed area regularly for 3 days following your treatment

To prevent ingrown hairs, starting a few days before your appointment:

• Gently scrub the skin 3 times a week
• Moisture the area every day

Some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions (particularly if this is your first wax). These symptoms should subside over the next 24-48 hours.

To maintain your smooth appearance, Elle View recommend regular waxing every 4-6 weeks.
