Waxing in Riverdale, Bronx

Before

• Let hair grow to about ¼ inch, roughly two to three weeks after shaving.
• Skip scrubs on the area for a day or two beforehand.
• Tell your artist if you use retinol or acne medication, since they can make skin more sensitive.

After

• Avoid hot baths, saunas and direct sun for about 24 hours.
• Wear loose clothing over freshly waxed areas.
• Start gentle exfoliation after a couple of days to help prevent ingrown hairs.
