3 reasons why to start your waxing journey now

1) It’s easier to grow our body hair in the colder months. We are more likely to let our body hair grow in the winter and not be tempted by shaving as our legs aren’t exposed. This means that the hair is longer and can be easier removed. 

2)Waxing reduces hair growth and pigment before summer. So, in summer months the hair is less visible, and you are not tempted to shave. Some people wait until the summer comes, for their holidays, to have their waxing done, however, starting your waxing journey now will help reduce and slow down hair growth ready for the summer, resulting in less regrowth and your smooth legs will last longer on holiday. This is because you have had 3-4 sessions prior to your summer holiday and all hair is in the same cycle. 

3)During winter months our skin feels dry. Waxing not only removes the hair from the root, it also exfoliates the top layer of our skin. The wax takes away dead skin cells and leaves a brand-new layer of skin. Build-up of dead skin cells won’t allow the nutrients from nourishing body creams and lotions to be absorbed by the skin and, your moisturiser is not penetrating a deeper layer of the skin.  

Downtime post waxing

Down time after waxing.
Most people ask me how long after their leg wax before they can go for a swim or exercise? This is very important as it is individual and depending your sensitivity. This is why I always say please do not have hot shower prior to your wax, as this is going to make your skin very sensitive and prolongs the down time. The reason why we recommend down time until your pores close up, is you do not want to get any chlorine or sweat (sweat contains bacteria which can cause an infection in your pores resulting in spot). So let those pores rest till they close up and you are ready for a session in the gym or a swim

You have come to the right place. If you are new I can help you decide where to start. Jumping into the deep end may not be your thing. If you are unsure what to book as it is your first wax I would suggest booking extended bikini line with Lycon hot wax and we will see if you would like to progress further on the day or we can just complete the extended bikini line. I will be led by you.

If you have been shaving, your roots may be stronger and it can reflect on how much you feel. The first wax is always more sensitive than 2nd and 3rd. I always say that you can take a painkillers prior to your appointment. Do not have a long and hot shower too close to your appointment but a cool shower is fine. Please refer to my other blogs about hot showers and hair length.
