Pre-waxing preparation
Got no clue what to do before waxing? We got your back, hunny!
Here are all the before and after tips and tricks to ensure a flawless waxing session!
Clean n' Fresh
​Nothing beats a great wax prep than fresh-out-of-the-shower skin! There are no restrictions as to which soap or cleanser to use so feel free to wash the area with any wash you prefer. Don't worry about sticky residue after waxing as you may wipe your skin with a cold damp towel afterwards!
After a great shower, we highly recommend gently exfoliating your skin 1-2 days before your waxing session to ensure we say goodbye to any dead skin & ingrown hairs lurking around.

WHAT IS EXFOLIATING?
Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells on the skin's surface. You can exfoliate by using abrasive brushes on the skin, or by using exfoliating scrubs which gently exfoliate the skin.

Benefits of Exfoliating
1. LESS PAIN
Exfoliating the skin helps wax stick to the hair better and not the skin, lessening the pain that is naturally felt from waxing.
2. BETTER RESULTS
Because you've removed the dead skin cells prior to waxing, you'll be getting a better grip on the hair, thus removing more.
3. INCREASED BLOOD FLOW
Better blood circulation in the skin helps to break down toxins and promote the production of new cells, giving you improved elasticity and glowing skin!
1. LOOFAH METHOD
One of the most common methods because it's usually already part of your shower routine. Soak your loofah in water, apply a body soap, and then gently scrub your entire body.
​
2. BODY SCRUB
Body scrubs are products that contain tiny exfoliating particles. After washing your body in the shower, apply a small amount of your scrub in your hands and gently rub it on your skin in circular motions for about 30 seconds. Once you're done, rinse off the scrub with lukewarm water.
​
3. DRY BRUSHING
This is a method that is usually done after showering, with completely dry skin. Using a stiff-bristle brush, apply pressure to make circular motions on your skin, moving in the direction of your heart.
Don't forget to moisturize after exfoliating!
Exfoliating methods and tools
Massage
Who doesn’t love a great relaxing massage? Even your skin deserves some tender loving care, hunny! Once the exfoliation is done it would be best to calm the skin with a gentle massage to balance out the sensations brought about by the semi-harsh exfoliation session.
To ensure the area is free of any moisture, apply a generous amount of powder on your desired waxing area to remove any hint of such! This will also allow our Hunnywax to stick onto your skin better and make the waxing process seamless and easy!

Say goodbye to the sticky bun
Got excess Hunny on your precious skin? Use a COLD damp cloth/cotton or apply baby oil on a cotton and gently wipe the sticky area and watch it disappear in an instant!
(Feel free to also use any type of oil!)
Feeling any burning sensation? Soothe it out with some aloe vera! Gently apply a generous amount of aloe vera on your freshly-waxed skin and feel the cooling effect trickle down the area of the skin.

It's a no no!
Avoid wearing fitted clothes for the next 72 hours to ensure no friction happens with the freshly waxed area that could irritate it and trigger ingrown hairs.
Avoid getting the area wet 3-6 hours after waxing
