Your Waxing Aftercare Advice


To keep your skin smooth, healthy, and irritation-free after waxing, follow these essential aftercare steps:

In the First 24–48 Hours:

  • Wear loose clothing, apply aloe vera, and use post-wax products as advised.

  • Don’t use heat, harsh skincare, sun exposure, or tight clothing post-wax.

  • Avoid hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, sunbeds, and swimming.

  • Skip intense workouts and tight clothing to prevent irritation.

  • Don’t apply deodorants, powders, perfumed lotions, or harsh products.

  • Avoid touching or scratching the area with unwashed hands.

  • Use only gentle, soothing products like aloe vera or tea tree-based lotions.

Redness, slight swelling or sensitivity are normal, especially after your first wax. These usually subside within a day. Contact us if symptoms persist beyond 48 hours.

Ongoing Aftercare (from Day 3):

  • Gently exfoliate 2–3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs. Try: Perron Rigot Double Scrub or Intimate Micro-Peeling Foam.

  • Moisturise daily with a light, non-comedogenic lotion. We recommend: Perron Rigot Hair Minimising Body Lotion.

  • Avoid shaving between appointments to improve waxing results over time.

  • Use targeted ingrown hair solutions like Perron Rigot Ingrown Hair Serum if needed.

  • Stick to a regular waxing schedule (every 4–6 weeks) for softer, slower regrowth.

With consistent waxing and proper aftercare, you’ll enjoy longer-lasting, smoother results.
