One of the most important parts of any wax is what you do after you leave the salon. Once fall rolls around, your skin may need a little extra attention. Cooler temperatures, lower humidity, hot showers, and cozy layers can all leave your skin feeling drier and more easily irritated. It’s also easy for your aftercare routine to slip down the priority list once summer is over.
Keeping your skin feeling smooth and soft after a wax doesn’t have to be complicated. A little moisture, gentle exfoliation, and the right products can make a big difference! We’ve put together a few of our favorite Waxi Taxi aftercare picks to help keep your skin smooth, comfortable, and smooth all season long.
The Calm-Panion: Moisture Your Skin Will Love
Fall can be tough on your skin, especially if you’re prone to dryness. That’s one reason the Calm-Panion is such a great addition to your post-wax routine. This lightweight blend of lavender and grapeseed oil helps replenish moisture while soothing freshly waxed skin.
Grapeseed oil is lightweight and absorbs easily, making it a great option when you want hydration without a heavy, greasy feeling. Lavender oil adds a calming touch, making the Calm-Panion a simple way to give your skin some extra TLC after waxing.
Smooth-Cruisin’ Salve: Lock In That Moisture
When the air gets chilly and dry, your skin needs some extra protection. That’s where our Smooth-Cruisin’ Salve comes in! This nourishing salve soothes and moisturizes the skin while creating a protective barrier that keeps moisture in. Its blend of coconut, olive, flaxseed, and sunflower oils provides rich hydration, while ingredients like calendula, chamomile, and lavender help calm the skin.
It’s one of those products that’s handy to have around all season long. Our Smooth-Cruisin’ Salve can be used for minor skin irritations, cuts, scrapes, and other everyday skin needs, making it more than just a post-wax product. Think of it as your skin’s cozy fall blanket. A little extra protection can go a long way when the weather starts working against your moisture barrier.
Tea Tree Tune-Up: Time for a Little Soak
There’s something especially appealing about a warm bath when the temperatures drop. Our Tea Tree Tune-Up lets you turn that cozy fall ritual into an opportunity to give your skin some attention. This tea tree bath salt helps soothe your skin after waxing. Tea tree oil is known for its cleansing and antimicrobial properties, while the relaxing benefits of a warm soak give your skin a reset.
Add Tea Tree Tune-Up to your bath and let yourself relax! Just remember that freshly waxed skin can be sensitive, so follow your specialist’s aftercare recommendations about when to soak after your appointment. Available in 8- and 16-ounce sizes, it’s easy to try it out or stock up for the season!
Ingrown RX: Keep Things Smooth
Fall means sweaters, leggings, jeans, and plenty of other clothing that can leave recently waxed skin feeling less than thrilled. Add dry skin and a skipped exfoliation routine to the mix, and it can be the perfect recipe for bumps and ingrown hairs.
Ingrown RX exfoliates the skin and keeps pores clear, helping reduce the buildup of dead skin cells that can contribute to trapped hairs and ingrowns. Ingredients including aloe, witch hazel, white willow bark, and lactic acid work together to exfoliate, soothe, and support smoother-looking skin.
Don’t Forget Your Exfoliating Gloves
One of our top aftercare picks for fall is a pair of exfoliating gloves. Good exfoliation is key to keeping skin smooth during the colder months, and it doesn’t have to come from a bottle. Our exfoliating gloves are an important part of a solid fall aftercare routine, and they’re included in our aftercare kit! They provide gentle physical exfoliation to help remove dead skin cells and keep your skin feeling smooth. This becomes especially helpful during fall when dry skin can build up more easily.
Your Fall Aftercare Routine
Fall weather can be rough, but your skin doesn’t have to be. We’re happy to recommend specific products that are right for your skin after your wax. Just ask your specialist! A little extra care between appointments can help keep your skin soft, smooth, and ready for your next wax.
