activities that become illegal for 24 hours after your wax
waxing is only half the story — the other half happens at home.
if you’re not following your waxer’s recommended after care, you’re not getting the best results. from exfoliating to moisturizing, so much more goes into a great wax than just what happens when you’re on our tables. scroll through this section for a general guide on how to care for your skin between services at beehive.
at its core, aftercare is quite simple
cleanse + moisturize daily | exfoliate 3-4x weekly
but what cleanser do I use? and what’s the best moisturizer? and what’s the difference between a physical and chemical exfoliator? lets talk about it.
CLEANSING — we recommending cleansing daily with a soap that is free of artificial fragrances, like nudy rudy. why no artificial fragrances? because genitals actually aren’t meant smell like roses.
MOISTURIZING — hydrate daily with a fragrance free moisturizer like hive vibe or phantom oil.
EXFOLIATING – your loofa isn’t cutting it babes. exfoliate 3-4x weekly with something like luvscrub or 50 grit if you love a physical exfoliator. if you’re experiencing ingrowns that are swollen or inflamed, we recommend swapping to a chemical exfoliator like pfb or agent 88
waxing
we really don’t want you to get folliculitis, so for the next 24 hours please avoid:
- sex (we’re all adults here — if this can’t be avoided 😉 please take a cool shower immediately after)
- working out
- saunas, jacuzzis, hot baths
- tight clothing
- tanning beds or spray tans
for the next 72 hours:
- only use your hands to wash the area
- avoid exfoliating
- moisturize daily
we love body hair (actually)
that’s why we introduced body hair trimming. but what’s the difference between trimming and waxing?
1 — the biggest difference is the downtime tbh. after a wax, we need you to avoid all sweaty activities for at least 24 hours. but with trimming? get freaky, babes.
2 — you control the length of your hair when you trim. we offer 2 guard sizes for trimming meaning you can keep your hair as short or as long as you want it.
3 — trimming can also be combined with a wax service for all our pro bush (but anti butt hair) babies
trimming
post-op scar treatments
hydrated scars = happy scars
when it comes to caring for your scars post treatment, hydration + massage are key
we love products like deck glow — a great hydrating serum with brightening properties
use your deck glow to add some slip, and massage the area for at least 5 minutes a day.
