Smoothaz Waxing Tips

After waxing, the follicles are open. To prevent any skin irritations or possible bacterial infections (pimples, ingrown hairs etc.), we recommend the following:

DO

  • Enjoy being smoothaz
  • Moisturise your skin daily with a recommended product
  • Have only a warm shower or bath for first 24 hours
  • Shower immediately after exercise to clear the follicles of perspiration
  • Loofah your skin daily with a glove or mitt and antiseptic tea tree wash - 2 days after your wax . Make sure you exfoliate with light pressure in a circular motion.
  • Wear cotton underwear / none at night to allow your skin to breathe
  • Ask a smoothaz therapist for professional advice if you have ingrown hairs OR book an extra ten minutes for professional removal of ingrown hair
  • Return within 3 – 4 weeks, this is the optimal time between waxes and reduces the pain and has maximum results

DONT

  • Swim until any redness has subsided
  • Wax immediately after exercising
  • Apply make up for a few hours after a facial wax
  • Go in the sun, use saunas, steam rooms or sun beds for 24 hours – you could burn and cause damage to the new skin
  • Apply spray tan for 24 hours after a wax
  • Exercise excessively for 24 hours after a wax
  • Shave between waxing appointments

Ingrown Hairs

This is when the hair becomes impacted in the hair follicle and curves back under the skin. This is more common with strong hair growth. It can be lessened by using a glove/mitt and antiseptic tea tree wash and lotion. After use hang glove/mitt out to dry (bacteria grow in water). Replace gloves monthly / mitts every three months.

We highly recommend our NEW exclusive ingrown hair product. This amazing product reduces appearance of unsightly ingrown hairs and redness from waxing and shaving. Can be used for Girls legs, underarms and bikini line and Guys faces, necks, legs, chest and back..

* Book an extra 10 minutes and have a smoothaz therapist professionally remove any ingrown hairs.

SunFX Tan Tips

Before
  • Exfoliate your body with recommended products. Pay attention to rough areas like knees, elbows, ankles and top of toes
  • Do not wear moisturisers or deodorant as this will reduce the final result
  • Do not apply any make up
  • Wear dark, loose fitting clothing and thongs or any slip on shoes
After
  • Do not shower for the first 8-10 hours - showering the next morning is the best option and sleep in loose clothing
  • Try not to touch your skin between tanning and showering phase as the tan can transfer onto your hands
  • Do not undertake activities which will cause you to perspire between the tanning and showering phase
  • Use recommended moisturiser twice daily
  • Avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions
  • Remember to apply sunscreen daily, as the Spray on Tan does NOT contain sunscreen .
