How to Care for Your Skin After Waxing in Spring, TX

Waxing Aftercare FAQs

How long should I wait to exfoliate after waxing?

Wait 24-48 hours after your wax, then begin exfoliating gently 2–3 times per week. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and keeps your skin glowing.

Can I use any exfoliant post-wax?

Only use products approved by your esthetician. We recommend exfoliants formulated specifically for post-wax care — check out our curated selection here.

Why is moisturizing important after waxing?

Daily hydration helps repair your skin barrier, reduce redness, and maintain your wax results longer. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers or serums made for post-wax skin.

Will I get ingrown hairs even with proper aftercare?

Ingrown hairs can happen, but they’re less likely if you follow correct aftercare. Exfoliate regularly, stay hydrated, wear loose clothing, and use our esthetician-approved skincare for best results.

Can I work out, have sex, or sweat after waxing?

Avoid working out, sex, hot showers, or saunas for 24–48 hours after waxing. Excessive heat and sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin and lead to bumps or breakouts.

Is redness or irritation normal after waxing?

Yes, mild redness and sensitivity are normal and should fade within a few hours. Apply a cold compress and a soothing serum if needed. If irritation persists after 48 hours, consult your esthetician.

Can I shave between waxing appointments?

It’s best not to! Shaving disrupts your hair growth cycle and may cause more irritation or ingrowns. Stick to your waxing schedule for the smoothest, long-term results.

When should I book my next wax?

Every 4–6 weeks is ideal for maintaining results. Regular waxing helps hair grow back finer and sparser over time. Book ahead to reserve your spot at Beauty Bar by Mare!
