SKIP SEX
After a wax your skin is sensitive and can be easily irritated. You want to avoid sex for at least 12-24 hours. Think about the friction and sweat .. Ouch ! I know it's soft to the touch and pretty - BUT don't risk irritating your skin. Waiting a day won't hurt.
EXFOLIATE
You can begin to exfoliate your skin 48-72 hours after your wax. Be gentle, this is a sensitive area. Exfoliating 2-3 times a week will help prevent ingrown hairs, irritations, and allows the hairs to be removed easier when it's time for your next wax.
NO SKINNY DIPPING
.. or swimming and laying out in the sun for 24-48 hours after your wax. Pools, Oceans, and Rivers can contain bacteria that can increase the risk of getting an infection on freshly waxed skin. The sun can also lead to hyperpigmentation and sun burning freshly waxed skin.
