Waxing Questions

Does anyone have any recommendations in preventing breakouts on waxing a guy's back/shoulder area?  Also looking for recommendations for organic pre-post waxing products.  Thanks!!

Cannot recommend an organic pre-post product as the only one I do know is available in the U.K, but not on sale for the U.S.    

As far as prevention with breakouts on the shoulders/back is the usual:  Avoid the gym straight after a wax, avoid synthetic/polyester type clothing.   Use witch hazel.  Put Witch Hazel into a spray bottle and apply that way (they can do this method at home easily)   Apply high frequency straight after the wax to help prevent breakouts.   Make sure there is no double dipping of course and don't apply oil after a wax just witch hazel and a nice calming lotion.

This is a great product for guys!! They can use it before and after shaving. My clients love it
Promotes calm, smooth, healthy-looking skin after hair removal
Gentle formula safe for everyday use
Can be applied to multiple areas of the body
Helps exfoliate skin after hair removal for smoother skin

Many of my male guest swear by a little a bit of tea tree oil for pre and post waxing... especially if the skin is sensitive.

I concur with Aretha. Tea tree oil is great for preventing breakouts of all kinds

I just took a waxing class and the instructor swore by olive oil as maintenance to prevent ingrown hair.

Tend skin works great and comes in a roller form. After waxing the back I roll with tend skin then apply cool towels. Also send them home with tend skin to use throughout the month.
