Getting a wax can be intimidating to some people. To be fair, someone pulling warm wax off your skin is far from a relaxing experience. At Sakonails, we prepare your skin with pre-wax oil so that your skin is protected from wax. Wax will only remove the unwanted hair and not the outer layer of your skin. This can get optimal results, maximize your comfort, and prevent irritation.

And by "thoughtful skincare preparation," I want you to continue the great habits you already have, it's really just about nailing the timing. Hydrating your skin is important, but putting heavy lotion on where you get waxed is not recommended since that could cause ingrown hairs. Exfoliation is essential to get rid of dead skin cells, but you want that timing to line up with your waxing appointment. There's no need to be intimidated. You've got this, and you're on your way to smooth, hair-free skin.

Get Rid of the Ingrown Hairs and Bumps

Prevent ingrown hairs and bumps with this solution that's great to use post-wax. Waxing irritated, ingrown skin is a disaster. Taking care of your skin in between waxes is a definite must. 

Exfoliate Your Skin

You don't want to give your skin any additional irritation or sensitivity on the day you wax. However, it is smart to exfoliate the area 2-3 days beforehand. You want to be gentle and get rid of dead skin cells. Don't overdo it, though.
