Tanning Preparation...WAXING V SHAVING

WAXING V SHAVING

If you are a regular tanner, try to regularly wax. Not only is it better for your skin but each time the razor hits your skin, it is also aggravating your skin and sloughing it off too, shortening the length and quality of your tan.

I have sensitive skin and I used to use conditioner as a shaving balm. It would feel wonderful for a day then it would feel spiky the next day when re-growth came through but when I started waxing I realised how tough it was on my skin. Now If you don’t believe me, just get your underarms waxed once. As soon as its done, the skin will immediately feel baby smooth (just like behind your knees) and you’ll realise exactly how aggressive shaving is on the skin and how damaging it is, let along how much time you will save over a month as the regrowth is slow. Then think of waxing your legs and even an intimate wax - you’ll never turn back.

90% of my Brazilan clients never had their underarms waxed prior to coming to me and now have their underarms waxed at the same time and agree…it’s life changing and so worth the extra £12 per month

How to tan in Autumn

I always tan according to the result a client expects, if it’s an occasion, their lifestyle and what they are wearing but I also take into account the time of year. We are now hitting the autumn season when we have less chance of catching the natural sun (unless we go abroad) so I recommend trying going down a shade.

I started advising this as soon as the wonderful weather we have had took a turn and resorted to typical British weather again. One of my weekly man-tan who has been a devout Sienna X 10% tried 8% last week and this week might try 6%. He’s reserved a 1hr self tan mist to top up his face and hands (should he need it during the week as he shaves daily and we all know how harsh shaving is) but has agreed dropping that shade isn’t as bad at all and gives a more natural result for the time of year. He works in the city where he said ‘we all fake it but we do not want to make it obvious we fake it’. He rocks a man-tan 👊🏻
