Nails

After getting a manicure or pedicure, it's essential to follow these aftercare tips for long-lasting results:

1. Avoid Water:
Refrain from immersing your hands or feet in water for at least two hours after the treatment to allow the polish to fully set.

2. Moisturize:
Keep your hands and feet moisturized by applying lotion regularly, especially after washing. This helps maintain the health of your skin and extends the life of your manicure or pedicure.

3. Protect Your Nails:
Wear gloves while doing household chores or activities that involve harsh chemicals to prevent chipping and peeling of the polish.

4. Avoid Heat:
Try to avoid exposing your nails to excessive heat or prolonged periods of sunlight, as this can cause the polish to fade or change color.

5. Be Gentle:
Treat your nails gently and avoid using them as tools to open cans or packages to prevent chipping or breakage.

6. Touch-Ups:
If you notice any chips or imperfections, touch up the affected areas with a matching nail polish to maintain a polished appearance.

7. Regular Maintenance:
Schedule regular manicure or pedicure appointments to keep your nails looking their best and to promote overall nail health.

Following these aftercare tips will help you maintain your manicure or pedicure and keep your nails looking beautiful for longer.

THREADING

The hairs from the face are removed from the follicle, leaving the pores on the skin open for at least 2 to 3 hours.

1. Avoid touching the treated area for 2-4 hours.

2. No make-up or perfumed products should be applied for 2-4 hours.

3. Avoid steam treatment or heat source like sunbathing / tanning beds, hot baths or sauna for at least 24 hours.

4. Avoid swimming or spray tanning 24-48 hours post threading.

Waxing

The correct post-wax aftercare routine will minimise any tenderness or irritation you may experience after waxing. Here are our top waxing aftercare tips:

1. Calm your skin
Apply Aloe Vera gel to the skin for a cool, soothing effect. Aloe Vera will help to rehydrate the skin and reduce the appearance of waxing bumps. Another great soother is Tea Tree Oil, which has antibacterial properties to ensure your skin remains free from infection. Don’t use it neat – instead, opt for a moisturiser containing tea tree oil, like ESPA’s Eucalyptus and Tea Tree Body Lotion.

2. Places to avoid
We recommend that you avoid gyms, saunas and steam rooms for at least 48 hours after your waxing treatment. Working up a sweat before the hair follicles have closed properly can lead to irritated skin.... Similarly, stay away from sunbeds and UV exposure, as the heat can clog the follicles and cause redness and bumps.

3. Play it cool
After waxing, your skin may feel overly sensitive. We recommend having cool showers and that you avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the treated area for three days to give the skin time to settle. If you’ve had your underarms waxed, avoid deodorants for 24 hours post-treatment. Use only mild, unscented soaps and shower gels until your pores fully close.

4. Exfoliation
Three days after your treatment, it’s a good idea to gently exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells and avoid ingrown hairs. Use a body scrub designed for sensitive skin and rub softly in circular movements to prevent hair from becoming trapped under the skin as the follicles close.

5. Apply moisturiser
After exfoliating, follow up with a rich, nourishing moisturiser to further minimise ingrown hairs.

6. Plan your next wax As part of your post-wax routine, book your next treatment. Regular waxing sessions mean that your hair becomes less dense, which results in less discomfort. It also slows the rate at which the hair regrows, keeping your body smoother for longer. Overall, a regular routine makes everything easier, and you won’t need to remember when you’re next due for a wax.

LVL Lash lift

Here are 6 things to avoid doing to keep your LVL lashes looking their best:

1. Don’t get your lashes wet for the first 24 hours, and avoid steam, saunas and swimming. It’s also worth avoiding the gym or heavy exercise for the first 24 hours.

2. For tinted lashes, avoid strong sunlight or UV light for the first 24 hours. If you want to top up your tint, just return to your salon after 4 weeks.

3. Try not to touch or rub your eye area, especially when washing or cleansing your face. If you have had a lower LVL treatment, your lower lashes will appear longer so take extra care when cleansing under your eyes.

4. After your treatment, avoid sleeping on your front or side, so your lashes don’t get disturbed whilst they set in place.

5. Don’t use lash curlers, they can be harsh on your natural lashes. With LVL lashes, you won’t need them anyway.

6. No oil-based make-up or remover. Our aftercare range offers some simple water-based alternatives.

Henna Brows

1. Avoiding rubbing, heat, sun, swimming, and saunas for 24 hours after the treatment, as these can cause the tint to fade or irritate the skin.

2. Keep the brows dry for the first 24-48 hours, as water can wash off the henna.

3. Avoiding peels, scrubs, and facial products that can remove the henna or damage the brows.

4. Applying brow make-up only after 24 hours and using gentle cleansers and moisturizers to maintain the brow shape and colour.

Henna design

Your henna design should last for 1-3 weeks.

1. Let the henna paste sit on your skin for 5-6 hours before removing it.

2. Avoid getting your henna tattoo wet for 24 hours.

3. Apply a coat of natural oil, butter or lotion after removing the paste. Moisturizing your henna design regularly can help it last longer and prevent it from fading. Dab olive oil, coconut oil, or a chemical-free lotion over the design once a day.
