Aftercare

Please note: slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax. You can apply antiseptic cream, aloe vera gel and/or ice to the treated area following your treatment to help alleviate these. Always wash your hands before applying any product. Keep the waxed area clean and avoid heat and friction during the next 24-48 hours: • No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only). • No saunas, hot tubs or steam treatments. • No tanning (sunbathing, sunbeds or fake tans). • No sport, gym work or other exercise. • Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands. • Wear clean, loose fitting clothes. • Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools. • Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotion, perfumed products or other products to the treated area for 24 hours. • After 24 Hours it is vital that you use a good quality moisturiser. • For long term improvements, book-in for regular treatments (every 4-6 weeks). You may notice a small amount of re-growth after a week or so. It can take up to four treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives best results. Hair needs to be at least 5mm long before it can be successfully removed by waxing so do not shave between treatments. • For in-growing hairs use an exfoliator.

During 24 hours after a lash lift and tint, DO NOT: Get your lashes wet or expose them to steam, moisture or sweat. Sleep directly on your face. Apply makeup to your lashes. Expose your lashes to heat or a tanning bed. Directly apply any kind of lash serum or product to your lash line that contains oil. TIP: After the 24-hour period, a lash serum can be applied to your lash line.
