Pre-base waxing product preparation before waxing is the key to success! Preparing your skin before waxing has several benefits. Importantly, pre-hair removal care helps minimize discomfort during the procedure and provides optimal hair removal results that can last for weeks!
Before commencing a service, it is important to conduct a thorough visual inspection of the area to be waxed – check for any contraindications, skin breakdown, or signs of inflammation. When a wound or open skin is discovered, it is best to postpone waxing until the skin has completely healed. Moles or cosmetic marks need to be identified so that steps can be taken to protect them during the hair removal process.
When waxing your bikini area, be sure to clean the skin in the area thoroughly, as waxing can make the skin more susceptible to infection. Areas of the body that are naturally warm and moist are more susceptible to bacterial growth and infection. In today’s guide, we’ll discuss the importance of using pre-waxing products.
1. Why are pre-waxed products so important?
- They remove dirt, makeup residue, bacteria, sweat, dust, and other external elements from your skin.
- They moisturize hair follicles, unclog pores, prepare the skin, prevent uneven hair removal, and reduce the risk of infection, rash, redness, and more.
- They can make waxing less painful for clients and make beauticians more efficient.
The skin secretes an oily substance called sebum, which comes from the sebaceous glands in the skin, making the skin waterproof and supple and the hair soft and shiny. These glands are part of the pilosebaceous unit, which consists of hair follicles, hair shafts, and arrector pili muscles (the tiny muscles responsible for causing goosebumps). “In what way does waxing treatment relate to this?” you ask. The oil secreted by the sebaceous glands makes it harder for the wax to adhere to the skin in the area to be waxed and remove all unwanted hair, which can lead to uneven waxing results. When this happens, the therapist is forced to re-wax certain areas, which may cause some of the skin to peel off.
Pre-waxing care – what are the necessary ingredients?
Before Waxing: After checking the hair length, it is essential to cleanse the hair with natural products and antioxidants such as alcohol, menthol, cocaine, and keratin. If the product is rich in menthol, it can provide a pleasant cooling effect, and the pre-waxed antibacterial lotion thoroughly cleanses the skin of dirt, sweat, and dead cells. Skin must be completely dry before contact with wax.
2. Pre-waxed products
Pre-waxed products clean, disinfect, and moisturize the skin before waxing and improve the adhesion of the wax to the hair rather than the skin, ensuring fast and effective hair removal. Pre-hair removal products save products by avoiding modifications, resulting in a faster job. Additionally, they make waxing virtually painless while protecting the skin from irritation and infection.
1) Pre-waxing oil
This pre-hair removal oil acts as an effective barrier, effectively reducing the pain threshold and heat sensation of traditional hot waxes. Its active ingredients include apricot oil, which forms a film between the skin and the wax, helping it stick to the hair instead of the skin, and bisabolol, a soothing and moisturizing agent that prevents skin from flaking.
Helpful tip: Use a very small amount, massage into the skin until absorbed, and wipe off excess with tissue if necessary.
2) Pre-based gel
Pre-Epilation Gel is a gel formulated to remove traces of makeup remover, deodorant, creams, or body oils before waxing. Apply it to large areas such as the legs, arms, or back to disinfect the skin and improve the adhesion of the wax to the hair, minimizing pain. Additionally, it moisturizes the hair and prevents breakage during the waxing process. Containing allantoin, witch hazel extract, menthol, vitamin E, oat extract, and aloe vera, it’s the perfect cocktail to gently prepare the skin before hair removal.
Helpful tip: Massage gently until completely absorbed.
3) Skin Balancing Lotion
Pre-Hair Removal Spray Lotion This pre-hair removal spray lotion removes traces of makeup, deodorant, creams, or oils, thereby disinfecting the skin and preparing it by promoting wax adhesion to the hair.
