Gently Exfoliate

1. Wait 24–48 hours after waxing before exfoliating.
2. 3–5 times per week using light pressure.
3. Use a soft exfoliating glove, net, or mitt.
4. Purpose: removes dead skin cells, keeps skin healthy, and prevents ingrown hairs.

Tip for sensitive skin:

1. Use a gentle chemical exfoliant instead of physically scrubbing.
2. Helps prevent irritation, keeps follicles clear of bacteria, and reduces ingrown hairs.

Chemical Exfoliants include:

1. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA: lactic acid, glycolic acid)
2. Beta hydroxy acids (BHA: salicylic acid)
3. Polyhydroxy acids (PHA: gluconolactone)

Watch Your Skin

1. Most reactions subside within 24–48 hours with proper aftercare.
2. If irritation, swelling, or signs of infection persist, contact The Epilation Lab or a healthcare professional.
