Freshly waxed or threaded skin can feel sensitive and look a little red—especially on hands, fingers, and toes. The goal right after hair removal is simple: calm, hydrate, protect. Follow this quick routine to keep skin comfortable and help prevent post-treatment dullness or tan on exposed areas.
Right After Hair Removal: The “CHP” Rule
- Calm: Avoid harsh scrubs, hot water, and fragrances immediately after the session.
- Hydrate: Use a non-greasy cream that comforts and softens.
- Protect: If you’re going outdoors, finish with SPF on exposed hands and feet.
Step-by-Step Routine (First 48 Hours)
- Cleanse gently: Rinse with cool to lukewarm water. Pat dry—no rubbing.
- Hydrate & brighten: Apply a thin layer of SACHET Hand & Foot Brightening Cream to hands and feet. Focus on knuckles, toes, and areas that were waxed/threaded.
- Protect (daytime): On exposed skin, use Mineral Sunscreen SPF 70 (100ml) or Aloe Vera Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 (100ml) before going outside.
- Night comfort tip: If skin feels tight, apply a second light layer of cream and wear thin cotton socks for toes/heels.
Avoid for 24–48 hours: hot showers, steam/sauna, heavy gym friction, perfumes on treated areas, and direct strong sun exposure on hands/feet.
When to Re-Introduce Exfoliation
Give skin a little time to settle before polishing or scrubbing.
- After 48–72 hours: You can re-introduce gentle exfoliation 2× per week using SACHET Hand & Foot Skin Polish (creamy, mild) or Hand & Foot Brightening Scrub (more texture).
- Always follow with Hand & Foot Brightening Cream to comfort and lock in moisture.
Weekly Maintenance (Post-Hair Removal)
- 2× per week: Gentle polish or scrub → rinse → pat dry → cream.
- Daily (AM/PM): Thin layer of brightening cream on hands and feet.
- Daytime: If you drive or are outdoors, apply SPF on the back of hands and exposed parts of feet/sandals.
Do’s & Don’ts
- Do: keep skin moisturized; patch test new products; use sunscreen on exposed areas.
- Don’t: over-scrub freshly waxed skin; use harsh bleaches; expose to strong sun immediately after hair removal.

FAQs
Can I exfoliate the same day I wax?
It’s better to wait 48–72 hours before using a scrub or polish so the skin can settle.
Why apply sunscreen after hand/foot waxing?
Freshly treated skin can tan faster. SPF helps prevent re-darkening on exposed areas.
Which is better right after waxing: polish or scrub?
Neither. For the first 48 hours, skip exfoliation—focus on calming and hydrating with cream.
How often should I moisturize?
Twice daily is ideal (AM/PM). Reapply after washing hands if they feel dry.
