Sugaring and waxing afterCare: The Ultimate Protocol for Smooth, Bump-Free Skin Using LYCON Ingrown-X-it Products
My passion has always been skincare, head to toe. Achieving smooth, hair-free skin with sugaring or waxing is a fantastic way to enjoy longer-lasting results compared to traditional shaving. However, proper post-wax care is essential to prevent irritation and those dreaded ingrown hairs. You come to your monthly appointments diligently, yet you still suffer from ingrowns and folliculitis (inflamed and/or infected hair follicles). I can do all I can for you in studio but I see you for 30-60 minutes a month so it’s up to you to continue targeting these issues at home.
At Sugarcraft Beauty, my sugaring protocols are all individualized. What I prescribe to one client, might not be right for you. Depending on skin type some clients are better suited on a more gentle ingrown preventative protocol. Some clients need a less aggressive form of post care but if you’re battling a constant stream of ingrowns, folliculitis, and impacted pores upping the ante and treating with LYCON’s Ingrown-X-it Foaming Gel, Ingrown-X-it Wipes, and Tea Tree Soothe Lotion will get you one step closer to keeping your skin smooth, soothed, and ingrown-free.
All products are available for purchase at Sugarcraft Beauty.
Step 1: Cleanse and Calm with LYCON Ingrown-X-it Foaming Gel
Why It’s Essential: Immediately after waxing, your pores are open, making your skin more vulnerable to bacteria and irritation. Cleansing the area with a gentle, anti-bacterial formula helps prevent infection and soothe any redness or inflammation.
How to Use: After your sugaring or wax treatment, cleanse the waxed area with LYCON Ingrown-X-it Foaming Gel daily. This product is specifically designed to clean the skin while calming it with chamomile and salicylic acid, which helps to gently exfoliate dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause ingrown hairs. The foaming action feels refreshing and helps reduce redness or discomfort.
Step 2: Exfoliate and Prevent Ingrown Hairs with LYCON Ingrown-X-it Wipes
Why It’s Essential: Ingrown hairs are one of the most common post-hair removal issues, but regular exfoliation can significantly reduce the chances of them occurring. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that can block hair follicles, leading to painful ingrown hairs.
How to Use: For continued care, use LYCON Ingrown-X-it Wipes daily, starting 24 hours after your sugar wax treatment. These wipes contain a powerful blend of salicylic acid, allantoin, and witch hazel to gently exfoliate and treat any potential ingrown hairs. Swipe the wipe over the sugar or waxed area to exfoliate the skin and kill any bacteria that could lead to irritation or infection. These wipes are also great for calming any post-wax redness, leaving your skin smooth and clear. These are also fantastic for post workout refreshing if you’re not going to hit the showers immediately and have to grab a coffee before you get home! These wipes are a lifesaver, my best selling product and my favorite treatment product!
Step 3: Hydrate and Protect with LYCON Tea Tree Soothe Lotion
Why It’s Essential: Hydration is key to healthy, glowing skin, and it’s especially important after waxing to keep your skin nourished and moisturized. Dry skin can trap hairs under the surface, leading to ingrown hairs.
How to Use: After cleansing and exfoliating, apply LYCON Tea Tree Soothe Lotion. This lightweight, non-greasy lotion contains tea tree oil, which has natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties to protect and calm your skin. It hydrates without clogging pores and helps maintain smooth, soft skin after waxing. Use this lotion daily to keep your skin moisturized and ingrown-free.
