What should be avoided immediately following waxing?

After waxing, it is important to avoid sun exposure and hot baths because the skin is particularly sensitive and vulnerable at that time. Waxing removes hair from the root and can leave the skin slightly irritated and open to environmental factors. Direct sunlight can lead to sunburn or pigmentation changes, while hot baths can exacerbate irritation and potentially cause infections due to the opened hair follicles.

Excessive moisture and sweating may also be concerns, but they are not as critical as avoiding sun exposure and hot baths since they primarily involve managing skin sensitivity rather than preventing immediate risks. Cold temperatures can usually be tolerated by the skin post-waxing and do not pose the same level of risk as sun exposure or hot environments. Therefore, it is most prudent to stay away from sun exposure and hot baths to protect the skin after waxing.
