Which aftercare should clients avoid immediately after waxing?

Clients should avoid hot showers and sauna usage immediately after waxing because these activities can significantly irritate the freshly waxed skin. Waxing removes hair from the root and can leave the skin sensitive and vulnerable. Hot water and steam can exacerbate this sensitivity, leading to increased redness, swelling, and discomfort.

Moreover, heat can also lead to the widening of pores and may increase the risk of inflammation or even infection, as open hair follicles are more susceptible to bacteria and irritants. By avoiding hot showers and saunas, clients allow their skin the necessary time to calm down and recover from the waxing process, promoting better healing and minimizing potential adverse reactions.
