WAXING AFTERCARE
Yasss Peach!
You got yourself a wax!
Aftercare is an important part of your service and we have some suggestions for you to keep in mind for the next 24-48 hours to ensure your skin stays free from bacteria and infections. Each Peach has very unique skin and sometimes needs more or less TLC than what we would generally recommend.
Indulge In:
Stay Away From:
-
Loose fitting clothing and soft, breathable fabrics.
​
-
A gentle exfoliation the night before. This will help your wax go a whole lot smoother.
-
Anything that's going to give you a buzz. Alcohol and caffeine are a no-no. They promote blood circulation and make your wax a little more painful.
​
-
Sun Exposure! This includes tanning beds. Aside from the obvious UV exposure, tanning beds may also contain bacteria from other sweet peaches that may cause infections.
​
-
Exercise, hot yoga or any activity that will cause excessive sweating. Can you say bacteria?
​
-
Bodies of water such as swimming pools, hot tubs, baths and lakes. Showers are fine if the temperature is at a reasonable level.
-
-
Smelly products! Perfume and scented products may irritate your freshly waxed skin.
*We can't say it enough, the transfer of bacteria can be bothersome to your skin.
LASH AFTERCARE
​
Your new lashes look amazing and we 100% want to keep them that way. How you treat your lashes at home holds just as much importance as how they were treated here at Peach! For the next 24 hours you need to keep your lashes dry! Yes, that means no makeup or eyedrops. Put that steam room and hot yoga session on hold! We suggest that you stay on top of lifts every 6-8 weeks to keep your lashes looking this perfect!
FOR BEST RESULTS:
STAY AWAY FROM:
-
Keep your lashes + brows dry for 24 hours.​ No steam rooms or gym sessions.
​
-
Brush your aftercare products through your lashes once per day. This will help nourish the hair + maintain their health.
​
-
Put down that eyelash curler! ​​You won't need it.
-
The urge to rub & pull at your eyes - keep your little fingers outta there! Rubbing your lashes is hard on them and result in loss of retention or damage.​​
​
-
Direct heat such as blowdryers & lighters can cause your eyelashes to sizzle at the ends.
-
​
-
Eye masks and sleeping habits that put stress on your lashes while you’re snoozin’.
​
-
Do no exfoliate there area for 72 hours before + after your treatment.​
​
-
Re-occuring lash treatments before the 6 week mark.
