The first 48 hours: what to avoid

Freshly waxed pores are open, so give them a break:

No saunas, hot tubs, steam or hot baths
No intense workouts or anything that makes you sweat heavily
Skip tight jeans, shapewear and synthetic underwear — friction causes bumps
Avoid sun, tanning and pools for 48 hours
Hold off on heavy fragranced lotions

What to do instead

Keep it cool and calm. A cold compress or aloe-based gel soothes redness. After the first 48 hours, hydrate with a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil so new, finer hairs can surface without getting trapped.

Beat ingrown hairs long-term

Once redness fades, exfoliate 2–3 times a week with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant. Stay on a 4–6 week waxing schedule — consistent waxing is the single biggest factor in fewer ingrowns and finer regrowth.
