What should clients refrain from doing after waxing?

After waxing, clients should refrain from sun exposure for a period of time. This precaution is important because the skin is particularly sensitive and vulnerable after hair removal processes like waxing. The removal of hair can leave the skin without its natural barrier, making it more susceptible to irritation and sun damage.

Exposing freshly waxed skin to the sun can increase the risk of burning, discoloration, and irritation, which can lead to discomfort and longer healing times. Therefore, advising clients to avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds allows the skin to recover safely and minimizes potential adverse effects.

Meanwhile, clients may often be able to shower, moisturize, and exercise, depending on individual skin sensitivity and guidance from their esthetician, as long as they take appropriate care of their skin before and after these activities.
