Which form of waxing is best and why?
Hot wax! It opens the pores slowly and moisturises the skin, allowing the wax to gently remove the hair.
How soon before your wedding day should you get a wax and why?
If you have never waxed the area before. We recommend to have a trial wax, I would recommend doing so one month prior to your wedding day. This allows you time to rehydrate your skin for a more effective wax just before your wedding day for a longer period of smooth skin through your honeymoon.
Prior to wedding day book two to three days before the big day is ideal.
What is the proper way to prep your skin for a wax?
Grow your hair to about 1/4 inch in length. If it's too short, the wax may not effectively attach to the hair follicle.
Exfoliate the areas you're having waxed. It's important to buff away dead skin cells to avoid clogged pores and ingrown hairs. Your last exfoliation should be at least one day before the wax treatment.
Moisturize your skin properly until the day before the wax to keep the area hydrated (and after to keep your skin looking fabulous, of course).
What are some things you shouldn't even think about doing before your wedding?
There are lots of rules. If you tan often, have a wax first, then allow a day or two before soaking up some sun. Though microdermabrasion does remove dead skin cells, which is ideal before you wax, allow about two days before waxing to allow the skin to heal. If you are having any chemical treatment or using a topical acne treatment, consult your doctor and waxer before your service. Also, you should absolutely not drink alcohol before the wax. Drinking tightens your pores, which could make the hair more difficult to remove. And, finally, What's the key to making your service last and keeping your skin smooth?
Maintaining healthy and hydrated skin is essential for making your service last. Drink lots of water to hydrate from the inside out, and use a great daily moisturiser to lock in moisture. Exfoliating everyday up to one day prior to a wax also assists in hair removal.
