Things to avoid before waxing! What should you keep in mind when visiting us for waxing?

You might find yourself wondering about the correct way to prepare for a waxing session. With so much misinformation circulating online, as a waxing salon, we want to be your most reliable source for information and help you out. In this article, we’ve put together a straightforward list of things to pay attention to when visiting us for waxing.
1. DO NOT EXFOLIATE BEFOREHAND!
Exfoliation can make your skin more sensitive, so avoid exfoliating 2–3 days prior to waxing. Otherwise, the wax might tear at your skin. Don’t worry though, after your waxing session, exfoliation is highly recommended as part of your skincare routine.
2. (FOR INTIMATE WAXING) DO NOT COME DURING YOUR PERIOD! DO NOT COME IF YOU’RE SICK!
Menstrual products can interfere with effective and hygienic (!) waxing. At our salons, we always pay attention to maintaining a high standard of hygiene. Additionally, your pain threshold is lower, and your skin is more sensitive during your period, so make sure to plan your intimate waxing session around your cycle.
On a related note, please visit our salons only when you are healthy to help maintain a hygienic environment for everyone!
3. AVOID ANY SKIN-IRRITATING ACTIVITIES BEFORE OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER WAXING!
These include: visits to the sauna (avoid for 1 week before and after waxing), exercise (avoid 2–3 days before and after waxing) and sexual activities (avoid 1–2 days before and after waxing).
Please refrain from any activity that could make your skin more sensitive, chafed, or irritated before and after waxing!
4. DO NOT TAKE ANTIBIOTICS OR CONSUME CAFFEINE BEFOREHAND!
Taking antibiotics or consuming caffeine can increase blood flow, which may lead to more pain and the slower healing of potential skin irritation. So, for your benefit, it’s best to avoid these as well.
Thank you for keeping these things in mind!
We look forward to seeing you at our Skintim salons, which can be found at 15 locations across the country!
