Waxed by Emily

We love a good review✨

So your waxer keeps telling you to exfoliate… but what does that mean and how do you do it? Let me break it down for you.

“Exfoliate” simply means to remove the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. When dead skin cells are sitting on the skin, hair has a hard time pushing through them and can become ingrown. Exfoliation is your key to an easy grow out and a super smooth wax! You should exfoliate about 3 days/week. Over-exfoliation will dry out the skin and cause irritation.

So what should you use?
There’s plenty of options on the market but these are the two I recommend over all others:
1) Dry Brushing! Dry brushing works by using ultra fine bristles to slough off dead skin cells. Meant to be used dry before your shower, brush your skin in circular motions for at least 30 seconds, then hop in the shower and wash all those dead skin cells off! Warm, wet spaces like loofahs are breeding grounds for bacteria. Since your brush is used dry, it doesn’t have the opportunity to grow bacteria like a loofah does. Dry brushing is also a method of exfoliation that doesn’t require products that may have irritating fragrances or ingredients.

2)Deck Scrub! For those who prefer to exfoliate in the shower, scrubs are a great option. Deck scrub is a pumice scrub specifically formulated for waxed skin. Free of fragrance and hair follicle clogging ingredients, it’s a safe bet for those with sensitive or problem prone skin.
