Threading Pre-Treatment Advice
- Avoid exfoliating your skin the day of your facial hair threading appointment. When your skin is exfoliated, it becomes more sensitive with threading, and this might lead to redness.
- Remove your makeup using a gentle makeup remover
Threading Aftercare Advice
- After threading do not apply any perfumed cosmetic products to the area like cleansers or moisturisers which contain acid for at least a period of 12 hours. This is so because even though these acidic products aid in removing the outer layer of skin they might cause an adverse reaction if used after hair removal, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Make sure you do not touch the threaded area for the first 12 to 24 hours as it may cause breakouts, rashes or irritation. Also make sure that the facial area which underwent threading is not exfoliated.
- Wait for a period of at least two hours after threading face before taking a hot bath or shower. The threaded area can be gently washed with the help of anti-bacterial soap.
- Avoid stepping into direct sunlight for a period of at least 48 hours after threading without proper UV protection. Refrain from using tanning beds or sunbathing without proper UV protection.
- If the threaded area turns red, then apply some rose water or mild cream on it to return the skin to its normal colour.
- If the redness or irritation does not subside even after using a cooling lotion, opt for an ice cube massage. This will relieve the pain and soothe any irritation present after threading.
- Avoid any sort of steam treatment or heat source immediate after threading.
