Letting your skin breathe helps prevent irritation, while skipping the gym decreases friction and heat.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160066599\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What type of wax is best for sensitive bikini lines?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Hot wax is usually better for sensitive bikini lines than strip wax. Hot wax grips the hair more effectively and removes even short hairs in one swift motion, which means fewer pulls and less redness compared to strip waxing.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160066600\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">When should you exfoliate if you\u2019re getting a wax?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your waxing appointment for a smoother finish. Wait 48 hours after waxing to exfoliate again, which helps prevent ingrown hairs and red bumps by removing dead skin cells.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160066601\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does it take for skin to recover after waxing?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Sensitive skin typically needs a few days to recover from waxing. Allowing a couple of days after your appointment gives redness and irritation time to subside, especially if you have sensitive skin types.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160066602\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What can you apply to soothe skin after waxing and exfoliating?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Applying a little aloe vera to your skin after exfoliating can help cool and calm the area.
