You will be surprised to know that men are taking off their body hair by waxing. Waxed legs and chest used to be for male strippers, cyclists, swimmers and body builders, but those are long gone day. Now every man is following the trend of removing hair by means of waxing.
Waxing (Before Waxing):
Lightly exfoliate the skin and apply a moisturizer. You may take Tylenol, ibuprofen or another pain reliever if you have a low threshold for pain.
After Waxing:
- Do not tan for 24 hours
- Do not use deodorant for 24 hours (if underarms) as there will be a burning sensation
- Do not cover areas waxed with any liquid makeup
- Do not sit in a hot tub or sauna for 24 hours
- Do Not Wax If: The skin is sunburned, menstruating, infected, cut (for bikini & Brazilian waxing) or using any of the following medications: Accutane, Retin A, Retinol, Tetracycline, Glycolic Acids or Alpha Hydroxy’s.
- Check with your doctor if you are on any other medications before waxing. Some medications and skin care products can thin the skin and may cause tearing/scarring if waxed.
