Booking a Valentine's Day wax for yourself, or bringing in your partner takes the romance to new levels. Whether you're getting ready for a romantic date night or just want to feel smooth and hairless, waxing is a great way to achieve that. A body wax allows you to feel confident and sexy in your own skin, which can enhance the overall experience for both you and your partner. Waxing leaves your skin feeling silky smooth, making it more pleasant for your partner to touch and caress. It can also be a thoughtful and personal gift for your loved one, showing that you care about their preferences and desires. So, if you haven't already, hurry and book your Valentine's Day wax at Depil Brazil and give yourself a special treat of self-love, and show your partner that you're committed to making the day special. Now, once the day is over, you can still enjoy the benefits of clean, smooth, buttery-soft skin with proper maintenance until your next appointment.

Here are a few of our favorite tips to help you out:

Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliating is an important step in maintaining smooth, healthy, and soft skin between body waxing. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, which can prevent ingrown hairs and other irritation caused by waxing. By removing the buildup of dead skin cells, exfoliating also allows for a smoother waxing experience and can help prolong the results of your wax. To properly exfoliate, it's best to use a gentle exfoliating scrub that is specifically formulated for the body. It is recommended to exfoliate 2-3 times a week, focusing on the areas that are waxed. It is also important to use lukewarm water and avoid using abrasive, or harsh exfoliants. Depil Brazil has a variety of exfoliants and scrubs that are gentle and effective for all skin types.

Moisturize Daily

Moisturizing daily helps to hydrate the skin, and to lock in the moisture, which can prevent dryness, flakiness, and irritation caused by the winter season, excess heat, hair regrowth, or other environmental stressors. Proper moisturizing can also help to soothe any redness or inflammation of the skin, and can help prolong the results of your wax. When moisturizing, it is important to use a moisturizer that is specifically formulated for the body, and that contains natural ingredients, like our Copacabana Bath & Body Oil. It is the perfect, lightweight moisturizer for your body and made for all skin types. It is recommended to apply moisturizer immediately after showering or bathing, while the skin is still damp, to help lock in the moisture. It is also important to avoid using moisturizers with harsh chemicals or fragrances, as these can cause irritation. To get the best results, especially during the winter season, remember to drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated from the inside out.

Try Lukewarm Instead of Hot

Hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and inflammation, which can negatively impact the results of your waxing. Additionally, hot water can also open up pores, making it easier for bacteria to enter and cause infection. To maintain smooth, and soft skin between waxing, it is recommended to take lukewarm showers or baths. Lukewarm water is less harsh on the skin, and it helps to maintain the skin's natural oils, keeping it hydrated, and preventing dryness. It is also important to avoid using harsh soaps or scrubs. Instead, opt for a gentle, fragrance-free body wash, like our Sao Conrado Intimate Wash, and apply moisturizer immediately after showering or bathing to lock in hydration.

Pre-Book Your Appointments

While you may be busy prepping for the perfect Valentine's Day, remember to pre-book your next appointment before leaving the Depil Brazil studio. Keeping your appointments on the books ensures that your waxing regimen becomes a consistent habit, which is very beneficial to your skin. Consistent waxing helps to keep hair growth under control, allowing you to maintain smooth skin for longer periods of time. Additionally, keeping your wax appointments consistent helps your Wax Pro to understand your hair growth patterns, which can lead to more effective waxing and improvements in your overall skin health. In fact, it is recommended that you speak with your Wax Pro before your appointment to discuss your skincare concerns, goals, and also any changes in your skin or hair growth patterns, such as changes in medication or hormonal fluctuations, as this can affect your waxing schedule and technique.

Be Gentle With Your Skin

Your skin is your largest organ, and needs the most attention and care. Be gentle with how you manage your skin. Gentle skincare involves using products and techniques that do not cause irritation, dryness, or damage to the skin's natural barrier. This approach is particularly important for people with sensitive skin, but it is beneficial for everyone to follow. It is important to use products that are formulated for your skin type and that contain natural ingredients. Avoid scratching, rubbing, or picking at your skin. Avoid using products that contain harsh chemicals, fragrances, or alcohol, as these can cause irritation. Also, avoid using hot water when cleansing your skin, as this can strip the skin of its natural oils. Instead, use lukewarm water and a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.

In addition, it is important to exfoliate and moisturize your skin regularly, but not to overdo it. Over-exfoliation can damage the skin's natural barrier and cause irritation. Moisturizing is also important to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. It is also essential to protect your skin from sun damage by using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Sun exposure can cause damage to the skin and can lead to wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of aging. By being gentle with your skin and following a consistent skincare routine, you can help maintain smooth, healthy, and soft skin.

While Valentine’s Day consists of the ‘day of love’, your skin needs love and care every day. This is especially true after your wax appointment. Proper exfoliation, moisturizing, avoiding hot showers or baths, pre-booking and keeping your wax appointments consistent and being gentle with your skin are all important steps in maintaining smooth and healthy skin. By following these tips, you can help ensure that your skin is in the best condition for your waxing appointment and that the results of your wax last longer. Additionally, it is important to communicate with your Wax Pro and inform them of any changes in your skin or hair growth patterns, as this can affect your waxing schedule and skincare goals. Remember that these tips are not only great for prolonging the results of your body wax but also for maintaining your overall skin health.
