Bikini Waxing - Aftercare

After a Bikini Wax your skin is extra sensitive so therefore it needs extra TLC. Minimize irritation and stay fuzz free for as long as possible by following these top tips.

• Avoid hot baths, showers, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs for at least 24 hours after your bikini wax or brazilian wax. The wax and heat will open up your pores and therefore your skin will be far more susceptible to bacterial infections.

• Don’t use shower gels, body lotions or moisturisers on your skin for 24 hours after your wax. 

 

• Avoid working out directly after your bikini or brazilian wax wait at least 48 hours before working up a sweat. After bikini waxing the skin is extra sensitive to sweat and bacteria so working out can irritate freshly waxed skin and cause it to break out.

• Exfoliate and moisturize regularly to avoid ingrown hairs however wait at least 4 days as they skin will be too sensitive directly after waxing. Exfoliating will remove dead skin cells preventing ingrown hairs while moisturising will help keep your skin silky and smooth.

• Don’t wear tight synthetic clothing straight after your bikini wax. Wear loose cotton clothes as this will allow your skin to breath. Tight clothing will rub against and irritate the skin.  

• Routine waxing helps the skin gets accustomed to the procedure and may minimize irritation so book your next bikini wax online now with SalonAddict.ie.

Remember the further in advance you book the more you save!!

Destiny’s Child Then and Now Hairstyles

Over the weekend Destiny’s Child reunited with an electrifying performance for the 2013 Superbowl. So SalonAddict have decided to take a look at the hairstyles that each of the famous trio have sported throughout the years.  

Beyonce Knowles 

Since starting out her music career Beyonce’s hair has only gotten bigger and better. While her music career evolved so did her hairstyles. Over the years we have seen her transform her hair numerous times, from straight to curly and from blonde to brown, Beyonce has always kept up with the hairstyle trends.  

Kelly Rowland 

In the early stages of Destiny’s Child Kelly’s hair was usually styled into short pixie style haircuts with red highlights running through. However in recent years Kelly has ditched the highlights and has opted for longer hairstyles.

Michelle Williams 

Michelle would be the least adventurous in terms of her hairstyles. She has experimented with shorter hairstyles but usually keeps to long curly hairstyles.
