🌞 Your Summer Waxing Game Plan: When to Wax for Vacations, Weddings & Pool Days

Beep Beep! 🚗 Summer is peeking around the corner, and you know what that means: swimsuit season, weddings, weekend getaways, and ALL the fun in the sun.

But listen—smooth skin doesn't happen by accident. It takes a little planning (and the right esthetician😉). So let’s map out your Summer Waxing Game Plan to keep you smooth, confident, and razor-bump-free all season long!

🗓️ How Long Before My Event Should I Book My Wax?

Whether it’s your bestie’s wedding or a week on the lake, timing is everything!

✅ Vacation Coming Up?

Book your Brazilian wax 2-3 days before you hit the beach or pool. This gives your skin time to chill out so you’re smooth, not sensitive.

✅ Weddings & Special Events

Going strapless or sleeveless? Wax underarms and any visible areas 2-3 days before the big day for your smoothest look (and to avoid redness in pics!).

✅ Regular Summer Life (aka shorts, tanks & swimsuits on repeat)

Stay on a 4-6 week schedule. This keeps hair growing in the same cycle, which means smoother results and less discomfort each time. Pro tip: PREBOOK before you leave your wax appointment,so you don’t forget, and then before you know it your hair is longer than you wanted. The sweet spot is usually 4 1/2- 5 weeks.

❌ Avoid These Waxing Mistakes Before Events:

🚫 Don’t wax the day before or day of a big event. Your skin may be slightly red or sensitive, and we want you to feel flawless.
🚫 Don’t try waxing for the first time right before vacation. Give it a test run a month or two ahead so you know how your skin reacts.

🌟 Keep That Glow Going

Want to stay soft and smooth all summer long? Here's your cheat sheet:

• ✅ Exfoliate 2-3x per week (wait 48 hours after your wax)

• ✅ Use post-wax care products like Bushbalm, Finipil, or Fur Oil

• ✅ Hydrate! Your skin loves water inside and out ✨

Your Skin Deserves a Fresh Start!

Winter may have left your skin drier than overcooked chicken 🍗, but hydration is the key to bringing it back to life! Swap out those heavy winter creams for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer that locks in moisture without feeling greasy. And don’t forget your SPF! 🌞🧴

Step 3: Smooth Things Over—Wax It Up! 🪒🚫

Spring means shorts, dresses, and swimsuit season are right around the corner. Time to ditch the razor and let waxing keep you smoother for longer! No stubble, no razor burn—just silky, touchable skin. 🌸 Book your wax now and enjoy weeks of low-maintenance smoothness!

Step 4: Book That Glow-Up Facial 😍✨

Just like your home, your skin needs a deep cleanse too! A professional facial helps clear out congestion, replenish hydration, and get your skin glowing and refreshed. 🌿 Whether you need a hydration boost, a deep cleanse, or anti-aging magic, I’ve got the perfect facial for you! 💆‍♀️

“The Do’s and Don’ts of Post-Waxing Care for Silky Smooth Skin”

Beep Beep! You just got a Brazilian wax at En Route Skin Spa, and now it’s time to make sure your skin stays smooth, happy, and irritation-free. Proper aftercare is key to avoiding bumps, redness, and ingrown hairs while keeping that silky-soft feeling for as long as possible. Let’s dive into the do’s and don’ts of post-wax care!

The First 24-48 Hours: Handle with Care

Your skin just went through a transformation, so let’s be extra kind to it!

🚫 No sweating or petting 😉! – That’s right! No workouts, hot tubs, saunas, or friction in the freshly waxed area for at least 24 hours. Your pores are open, and we want to avoid irritation or bacteria sneaking in! 😉

🚿 Skip the hot showers – Lukewarm water is your best friend. Hot water can cause unnecessary redness and sensitivity.

👖 Loose clothing = happy skin – Say no to tight leggings or underwear! Opt for breathable cotton to prevent irritation.

🌞 Avoid sun exposure & tanning beds – Freshly waxed skin is more sensitive to UV rays, so protect it like the treasure it is!

Preventing Ingrown Hairs: Your New Smooth-Skin Routine

Nobody wants those pesky ingrowns! Here’s how to keep them away:

✨ Exfoliate (but not too soon!) – Wait 48 hours before using a gentle exfoliator or dry brush, then exfoliate 2-3 times per week to prevent hair from getting trapped under the skin. (Pro Tip: I carry amazing post-wax products like Fur Oil & Bushbalm—ask me about them!)

💦 Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! – Moisturized skin helps hair grow back softer and easier. Use a gentle, fragrance-free lotion or a post-wax oil like Finipil to soothe and protect the area.

Waxing Like a Pro: The Long-Term Game

Want to make waxing easier, less painful, and more effective? Stick to a regular schedule!

📆 Book every 4-6 weeks – Staying on schedule helps hair grow back finer and weaker, making your wax sessions quicker and smoother over time.

🪒 Ditch the razor – Shaving between waxes can mess up your hair growth cycle and lead to stubble, irritation, or even more ingrowns. Stay committed to waxing for the best results!

Brazilian Waxing 101: Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Appointment

Beep Beep! Ready to get smooth? Whether you're a first-timer or just need a refresher, let’s talk all things Brazilian waxing—what to expect, how to prep, and why you’ll be OBSESSED once you start!

What Exactly is a Brazilian Wax?

Let’s break it down:

• Bikini Wax: Removes hair outside the panty line—think “clean up on the sides.”

• French Bikini Wax: Goes a little deeper, removing more hair but leaving the middle untouched (unless you say otherwise!).

• Brazilian Wax: The whole shebang—front, back, and everything in between! But don’t stress, we can customize your wax to leave or remove as much as you want. Your wax, your rules!

Will It Hurt?

Listen, we won’t lie—a Brazilian wax isn’t a tickle fight. BUT, it’s quick, and with Nufree Wax, the experience is way more comfortable. Plus, the more you wax, the easier it gets. Stay consistent, and you’ll notice finer, softer hair and way less discomfort over time!

How to Prep Like a Pro

For the best results (and a smoother experience), follow these simple steps: ✔️ Let it grow – Hair should be about 1/4 inch long (roughly the size of a grain of rice). Too short? The wax won’t grab. Too long? Ouch! If needed, trim before your appointment. ✔️ Exfoliate the area – Use a gentle exfoliator or loofah the night before to remove dead skin. ✔️ Skip caffeine & alcohol – They can make your skin more sensitive (and we don’t need that!). Hydrate instead! ✔️ Wear loose clothing – Tight leggings? Not today. Opt for comfy, breathable fabrics post-wax.

Aftercare: Keep That Smooth Skin Happy

🚫 No hot tubs, pools, or sweaty workouts for 24 hours. 🚫 No perfumed lotions or tight clothing—let your skin breathe! 🚫 And remember my golden rule—No sweating or petting for 24 hours! Let’s keep that freshly waxed skin happy and irritation-free. 😉 💦 Keep the area clean & hydrated. We LOVE Finipil, Fur, and Bushbalm for soothing post-wax care. 📆 Stay on schedule! Waxing every 4-6 weeks helps keep the pain low and the skin smooth.

Let’s Address the Awkward Stuff

Nervous about stripping down? Don’t be! My wax room is a judgment-free, safe space. I promise, I’ve seen it all, and my only focus is getting you smooth AF.

Oh, and YES—you can wax on your period! Just wear a tampon or menstrual cup.

Ready to Ditch the Razor for Good?
