Which wax is suitable for sensitive skin?

Especially for sensitive skin, it is important to use the right wax. Read here which waxes are recommended for sensitive skin to achieve the perfect result.

Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin often reacts to ingredients in the wax, such as fragrances, resins or parabens. In order to also offer these customers a pleasant waxing treatment, you should make sure that these ingredients are not contained in the wax. There are also special pre- and post-treatment products that you can use for clients with sensitive skin. Some areas of the body tend to be particularly sensitive. Here it is important to know these and use the right products accordingly.

Sensitive parts of the body

Sensitive areas of the body include the underarms, face and intimate areas. You should use hot wax for these sensitive areas. The special thing about hot wax products is that they work with much less pressure and the skin is therefore less stressed.

Pre- and post-treatment

In addition to deciding on the right waxing product, pre- and post-treatment is also very important for sensitive skin. The following products are suitable for sensitive skin:

• Pre & Post Depilatory Lotion to degrease and cleanse the skin.
• Pre Wax Depilatory Calming Oil to protect the skin barrier.
• Refreshing Gel as a final treatment. It soothes and moisturises the skin
