Aftercare

1. Avoid heat for 24-48 hours: • No hot showers, baths, saunas, or steam rooms. • Avoid tanning beds or direct sun exposure (skin is more sensitive and prone to burns). 2. Skip exercise and sweating for 24 hours: • Excess sweat can irritate open follicles and lead to bumps or breakouts. 3. Wear loose clothing: • Tight clothes can rub against the skin and cause irritation or ingrown hairs. 4. Don’t touch or pick: • Keep hands off freshly waxed skin to avoid bacteria and irritation. 5. Moisturize gently: • Use fragrance-free, soothing lotions or aloe vera. • After 48 hours, you can begin gentle exfoliation every few days to prevent ingrown hairs. 6. Avoid harsh products for 24-48 hours: • No perfumed lotions, scrubs, retinoids, or acids on the waxed area. 7. If redness or bumps appear: • Apply a cold compress or a soothing anti-inflammatory product like aloe or witch hazel. Optional tip: • Book regular waxes every 4-6 weeks for best long-term results and less discomfort.

1. Hydrate well: • Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage and reduce soreness. 2. Take it easy: • Avoid intense physical activity for the rest of the day — let your body fully relax and recover. 3. Eat lightly: • A light, healthy meal after a massage can help your body rebalance, especially after deep tissue work. 4. Rest if needed: • You might feel sleepy or even emotional; that’s normal. Give yourself permission to rest. 5. Avoid alcohol and caffeine: • They can dehydrate you and counteract the detoxifying effect of the massage. 6. Warm baths or showers: • A warm (not hot) bath with Epsom salts can help ease any residual muscle tension. 7. Listen to your body: • Mild soreness is normal, especially after deep tissue massages. If you feel pain or discomfort that doesn’t improve, check in with your therapist.

1. Avoid touching your face: • Keep your hands off to prevent transferring bacteria and avoid irritation. 2. No makeup for 24 hours (if possible): • Give your skin time to breathe and absorb the benefits of the treatment. 3. Skip exfoliating for 48 hours: • Your skin has already been deeply cleansed and exfoliated during the facial, so give it time to recover. 4. Avoid heat and sweating for 24 hours: • No saunas, steam rooms, or intense workouts — heat can irritate freshly treated skin. 5. Stay out of the sun: • Your skin will be more sensitive, so avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF if you go outside. 6. Use gentle, hydrating skincare: • Stick to mild cleansers, soothing serums, and moisturizers; avoid active ingredients like retinoids, acids, or scrubs for a few days. 7. Don’t pick or squeeze: • If any extractions were done, picking can cause scarring or infections. 8. Keep hydrated: • Drink lots of water to help flush out toxins and keep skin glowing.
