Avoid for 24–72 hours:

  2. Swimming
  3. Sex
  4. Working out
  5. Tanning beds
  6. Direct Sun
  7. Chemical exfoliants


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.
