Before and After Care
Waxing
Before Care
-
Begin exfoliating a week prior to your scheduled waxing appointment, particularly the day prior to your appointment
-
For best results, moisturise the night before your appointment, but not the morning of.
-
Ensure that your skin is clean and free of any facial ointments, moisturisers and make-up on the day of your appointment.
After Care
-
Do not participate in or complete any excessive exercise within the first 12 to 24 hours after your waxing appointment (especially if your skin is red and irritated).
-
Do not apply any products to the freshly waxed skin and ensure the area of concern is kept dry. If you have to shower, use warm water to keep the pores open and avoid hot showers which will further dry the skin and area.
Spray Tanning
Before Care
-
For best results, exfoliate and moisturise your skin the night prior to your scheduled appointment and use a pre-care solution to remove any residual old spray tan from the skin surface.
-
On the day of your scheduled appointment, do not apply any make-up, perfume, moisturiser, deodorant or products as these may react with the spray tan and cause discolouration.
After Care
-
Depending on the colour and results you are after, the spray tan will need to develop on the skin over 1 to 4 hours.
-
During the development time, avoid any excessive exercise that may cause sweating; any moisture and perspiration will cause discolouration and water markings on the skin surface and throughout the spray tan.
-
After the desired development time, take an initial shower without any body wash, shampoo, conditioner, or other products to ensure maximal retention and results.
-
After the initial shower, any products and hair products may be utilised or applied to the skin
-
For optimal and long-lasting results, ensure the skin is kept moisturised throughout the application of the spray tan. Applying moisturiser will ensure the spray tan fades evenly, free of spot discolouration.
​
** Please note: The spray tan will begin to redevelop for one hour after the initial shower and moisturisation of the skin, so please wait for this process
Sauna
Before Care
-
Do not consume any food up to 2 hours prior to your scheduled appointment, and ensure you are hydrated throughout the day and immediately prior to your appointment.
-
At your scheduled sauna appointment, you are welcome to bring in reading materials, hydration, towels and music (the sauna machine is equipped with a CD function).
After Care
-
Ensure you shower either immediately or soon after your sauna appointment, ensuring that no sweat is left to dry on the skin as this will cause you to become unwell.
-
Continue to stay hydrated with fluids and electrolytes throughout the day.
-
It is recommended to consume or have a meal soon after your appointment as the sauna may leave you feeling either lethargic or energised.
