What should clients avoid immediately after hair removal?

After hair removal, clients should avoid sun exposure and hot showers because the skin is usually more sensitive and vulnerable following the procedure. Hair removal can leave the skin temporarily irritated and more prone to inflammation or reactions. Sun exposure can exacerbate irritation and increase the risk of sunburn, as the skin may not have its protective barrier fully intact. Similarly, hot showers can further irritate the skin, as the heat may open up pores and keep them sensitive, leading to discomfort or potential damage.

Moisturizing lotions are often recommended after hair removal, as they can help soothe the skin and promote healing. Shaving is typically not an immediate concern; rather, it is not advised shortly after hair removal because it may further irritate the treated area. Similarly, while applying makeup can be done at some point post-procedure, it is generally advised to wait to allow the skin to recover fully, especially if the hair removal method used was more invasive.
