Waxing 101: Everything You Need to Know at Creative Essential Spa

Waxing is a fantastic option if you’re looking for silky smooth skin that lasts. But with so much information out there, it can be confusing! Let’s break down the basics of waxing and how to get the best results at Creative Essential Spa.

What is Waxing?

Waxing is a semi-permanent hair removal technique that involves applying a sticky substance, such as wax, to adhere to body hair, and then removing the covering and pulling out the hair from the follicle. Waxing can be done on almost any part of the body, including arms, legs, back, eyebrows, abdomen, face, bikini area, and feet.

Waxing removes hair from the root using warm wax. This method provides longer-lasting results than shaving, typically keeping your skin smooth for several weeks.

  • Under Arms

Benefits of Waxing

  • Long-lasting smoothness: Hair regrowth is slower and finer.
  • Reduced irritation: Less frequent hair removal means less chance of razor burn.
  • Exfoliation: Waxing gently removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin soft.

Is Waxing Right for You?

Waxing is suitable for most people but may be less effective if you have very short hair. If you have sensitive skin or are taking certain medications, consult with our technician beforehand.

How to Prepare for Your Waxing Appointment

  • Let your hair grow: Hair should be about ¼ inch long for optimal waxing.
  • Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area a day or two before your appointment or you can combine your waxing with our full-body scrub before waxing for the best results
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol: These can make your skin more sensitive.

Aftercare for the Best Results

  • Moisturize: Keep the waxed area hydrated with a gentle moisturizer.
  • Avoid tight clothing: Choose loose, breathable fabrics for a day or two.
  • Exfoliate regularly: Start exfoliating a few days after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs.
  • Avoid sun exposure: Waxed skin is more sensitive to the sun.

In general, to avoid any after-effects to the waxed areas; it is always best to practice the following for 24-48 hours after waxing.

  • No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only).
  • No saunas, hot tubs, massage, or steam treatments.
  • No sport, gym work, or other exercise.
  • Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools.
  • Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions, or other products to the area, other than those recommended by your therapist.
