Waxing Salon Downey
Skin Care
We only use Hard Wax!
Hard wax gently exfoliates and does not remove as many skin layers as soft or film waxes do. This helps to maintain the skins natural ph level, keeping your skin healthy and dewy. People with oily skin will experience more sebum in their pores that traps hair at the surface level. These plugs can resemble ingrown hairs and should be treated with a daily body wash that contains gentle exfoliators. Ingrown hairs are hairs that are trapped below the skins surface. Usually they get trapped from the hair thinning out due to waxing. These weak thin hairs can get trapped when they begin to grow. Exfoliating 2 to 3 times a week will help remove dead skin that can clog the pore with dead corny keratin cells. When these keratin cells are inside the pore the hair cannot pass but it continues to grow creating a bundle of hair that continues to grow in size. Eventually we all get a bump or ingrown and will need a serum to treat it.
