In addition to bikini season, summer is also wedding season! Add waxing to your wedding preparation list to get ready for your pending nuptials AND your honeymoon getaway! You’ve got a lot to do before saying “I do”. There’s flowers, cakes, dresses…and don’t forget all of your preparations including the right waxing treatments! Waxing can be more than just a way to rid your body of unwanted hair, it’s also an opportunity to treat and prepare your skin for some of the most important days of your life. If you’re traveling for your dream destination wedding, soaking up the sun in an outdoor wedding, or just choosing to quietly elope with your love, you have to be sure to schedule some time on your wedding prep list to include waxing appointment for yourself and your entire wedding party (yes, that include the groom and groomsmen, too!)
We want you all to experience the freedom and confidence that comes from being smothered in all the places that matter most. At Depil Brazil our experienced and talented Wax Pros are here to help guide you through each step of your pre and post wedding wax so you have more time for the happy parts of wedding planning, and not stress over surprise problem skin. So, whether you plan to wax your brows or strip bare with a full Brazilian, be sure to follow these top tips for healthy, beautiful, happy skin on your big day!
Avoid any DIY waxing prior to the big day to prevent ingrown hairs.
You’ll have enough on your to-do list on the big day, don’t wait until the last minute to try to rush through a wax. Booking your full body wax ahead of time with a professional will ensure not only great results, but will also help to avoid any redness, irritation, infection, and those painful ingrown hairs.
Get your Brazilian or bikini wax on the books at least three days before your big day.
Once you’ve nailed down your date, it’s a great rule of thumb to go ahead to pre-book all of your big grooming appointments. That includes, hair, nails, makeup, and of course, your wax appointment. If you want silky smooth skin for your special day and steamy night, you need to ensure that you book your Brazilian in advance so that it’s one less step on your to-do list.
Include an underarm wax if you plan to go strapless or sleeveless in your gown.
We can sometimes forget that hair grows on parts of our bodies other than our arms, legs and brows. Make sure you’re feeling confident in your gown by adding an underarm or facial wax to your wax appointment.
Wear sunscreen.
Even if you don’t plan to tie the knot outdoors, your face and skin will still be exposed to the sun, especially depending on how your gown is made. Make sure you and your wedding party have plenty of sunblock to share. Apply before putting on your makeup and getting dressed, and then reapply once you are preparing for your reception and departure. It goes without saying that you’ll need to pack plenty of SPF for you and your spouse during your honeymoon vacation. Especially if you are traveling to tropical or hot weather climates during the summer.
Don’t use any self-tanners, lotions, body oils or creams on the day of your wax.
For the best results when you wax, clean and exfoliate your skin before your appointment. Avoid applying any products to the skin prior to getting waxed, this ensures you get the best results and that you don’t end up with wax not adhering to the area or uneven hair removal.
If you’re unsure about what you need to do for your bikini area, get a professional opinion.
The choice to go completely bare, or to leave a little there, is always up to you, but your Wax Pro can give you the best professional opinion for your skin type, texture, and activities. Be sure to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your wax before your appointment. Afterwards, you will receive great post-wax care and recommendation on skincare products and procedures to keep your skin soft and smoother, much longer.
