I have had a few clients this week who have seen the dreaded ingrown hairs come back – sometimes this happens because they have not had the time to keep up their aftercare post wax but a big contributory factor that will affect most of my waxing clients is the change in weather at this time of year.

With the arrival of the colder weather means our skin is much more drier at this point than spring or summer and as you will all know dry skin is a major contributory factor in ingrown hairs.

To combat this I have positively encouraged clients to keep up their exfoliation after each shower/bath but to up the amount of baby oil they apply post wax to moisturise drier that normal skin.

You can also give this routine a helping hand with two products I retail on the salon – these are excellent for preventing ingrown hairs if used properly.

Waxperts Wonder Pads contain 40 pads and the client should use one after each shower so it will last you 40 days – this product has received great reviews and is new to the salon – they also suggest exfoliating at least 2 times a week – £9.99 for one tub

Perron Rigot Double Scrub – this is from the makers of the wax I use in the salon – I have several clients who use this and have also seen such an improvement they are on their 2nd purchase. It should be used 48 hours prior to waxing at shower time and then once a week so this product will last you a few months – £18.00 for one 150ml  tube

any question just ask me when your next in the salon 🙂
