Essential Waxing Aftercare Moisturise the waxed area regularly. Ingrown hairs are often caused by dry or flaky skin which does not allow the hair to grow through. If you are moisturising your intimate areas, use an appropriate cream or oil for the sensitive areas. Ask our experience beauty therapists about the most suitable products available at City Retreat. Exfoliate the waxed area several times a week to get rid of dead skin cells. If it’s an intimate area, make sure you choose a gentle exfoliator – too harsh and it will irritate your skin or make it sore. Over-exfoliation or the use of an unsuitable scrub will graze the skin and could cause ingrown hairs. A washable exfoliating cloth can be a great aid to use alongside your normal shower gel. Such cloths often exfoliate the skin by themselves, without the need for an additional scrub and they leave your skin feeling extremely clean and smooth. For non-intimate areas of the body, dry brushing can have a useful exfoliating effect. Dead sea salt used as bath salts can help prevent infection as can anti-bacterial shower gels. Soothing lotions and gels, especially those containing products such as tea-tree oil, aloe vera and witch-hazel can also alleviate irritation.
