After waxing, which of the following should be recommended to the client?

Recommending the use of fragrance-free products after waxing is crucial for client care and comfort. Waxing can remove not only hair but also some of the upper layers of skin, leaving the area sensitive and more susceptible to irritation. Fragrance-free products minimize the risk of allergic reactions or additional irritation that can be caused by synthetic fragrances, which are common allergens and irritants.

Using gentle, soothing substances helps to maintain the skin’s natural barrier and supports healing without overwhelming the skin with unnecessary chemicals. It’s also important for clients to use products specifically formulated for sensitive skin, which are often fragrance-free, to prevent complications following the hair removal process.

Exposing the area to sunlight can exacerbate irritation and increase the risk of hyperpigmentation in sensitive skin post-waxing. Applying lotion immediately, while it seems beneficial, may not take into account that the skin may be too sensitive for immediate hydration depending on the ingredients of the lotion used. Skipping skin hydration entirely is counterproductive, as hydration is essential for skin recovery after waxing. Following up with a recommended fragrance-free product would be the best practice to ensure client safety and comfort after waxing.
