I’m going on vacation, when would be the best time to come for hair removal? Waxing before vacation.

When planning a vacation, we all want smooth skin without the hassle of frequent shaving or worrying about regrowth. Waxing is an excellent solution, but it’s important to know when to schedule your appointment to avoid irritation and enjoy long-lasting results during your trip.

When Is the Best Time to Get Waxed Before a Vacation?

The ideal time to get waxed is about 48 hours before your planned departure. This allows your skin to calm down and reduces the risk of irritation from sun exposure, saltwater, or chlorine from swimming pools.

By waxing two days before your trip:
✅ Your skin will have time to recover, and any redness will subside.
✅ You minimize the risk of infections or irritation caused by swimming in the sea or pool.
✅ You will enjoy long-lasting smoothness – depending on your hair growth cycle, the results can last up to 3–4 weeks.

If this is your first time getting waxed, consider trying the treatment at least a month before your trip to see how your skin reacts. This way, you can avoid unexpected irritation or allergic reactions right before your vacation.

How to Care for Your Skin After Waxing Before a Vacation?

To ensure your skin stays in the best condition during your trip, follow these essential aftercare tips:

🟢 Immediately after waxing (first 24–72 hours):
✅ Use soothing creams – Sudocrem is recommended for up to 72 hours to help your skin heal and prevent irritation.
✅ Avoid sun exposure and saunas – For at least 48 hours, do not expose freshly waxed skin to direct sunlight, tanning beds, or high temperatures such as saunas and hot baths.
✅ Avoid swimming pools and saltwater – Chlorine and salt can further irritate the skin, especially when it is still sensitive after waxing.

🟢 After 72 hours:
✅ Moisturize daily – Use hydrating and soothing lotions after every shower, preferably with aloe vera, panthenol, or coconut oil.
✅ Apply SPF 30–50 sunscreen – Waxed skin is more prone to hyperpigmentation, so always protect it from UV rays.
✅ Avoid exfoliation for the first 4–5 days – Your skin may still be sensitive, but after this period, regular exfoliation helps prevent ingrown hairs.

How to Maintain Smooth Skin for as Long as Possible on Vacation?

🔹 Avoid touching the waxed area too much – This prevents bacteria transfer and possible infections.
🔹 Wear loose-fitting clothes right after waxing – Your skin needs to breathe, and tight fabrics can cause friction and irritation.
🔹 If you notice ingrown hairs, use gentle enzyme exfoliants – These help remove dead skin cells and prevent further issues.
