A common hair removal company website, waxing helps the hair follicle weaken over time, so that when the strands do grow back, they’re finer and less dense. But this process isn’t suitable for everyone and it does leave the skin a bit vulnerable, so it’s important to follow proper skincare routines.
For instance, it’s best to avoid sun exposure on the area you had waxed. Even if it’s only for 24 hours, freshly waxed skin is more susceptible to sunburn, which could lead to hyperpigmentation. Likewise, tight clothing can rub the area and irritate. It’s also important to avoid exfoliation right after a wax, as the skin is incredibly sensitive and can be easily irritated.
