Wax On, Wax Off
"After a long and dry winter, it's important to exfoliate your skin with gentle solutions that won't leave the area scratched or damaged. Removing dead skin cells before getting hair removed will reduce the chance of ingrown hairs, bumps, and blemishes, which is great, especially near the bikini area."

"Also, be sure to start a waxing routine early," and wax first, spray tan later. Waxing opens your pores so be sure to keep your skin free of dirt, oil, and other pore-clogging solutions. Wait at least 48 hours before hitting the spray tan booth or heading to the gym to avoid ingrowns, bumps, and blemishes."

—Jessica Coba, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of European Wax Center
