Question 1

After Wax Care...

Accepted Answer

After your Snatched Beauty appointment, there are a few additional things that you can do for after care to ensure that your skin stays smooth and free of bumps or breakouts, which are some of the most common problems after a wax.   Stay Out of the Water: Newly waxed skin is vulnerable to infection, which is why you’ll want to give yourself a bit of time to heal before getting into the water. Sources of standing water in particular, such pools, are a concern and should be avoided for 24-48 hours after a wax. Showers are fine after the procedure. COOL or Luke warm showers ONLY!   Keep Your Hands to Yourself: It may be tempting to check out your newly smooth skin. However, you’ll want to wait at least a day before running your fingers down there. This is because your fingers are likely to introduce bacteria to the newly sensitized region.   Chill-Out: Because the newly waxed area is more sensitive and more susceptible to invading bacteria, it’s best to avoid heat, sweat, and friction after your wax. For at least 24 hours, you’ll want to avoid saunas, tanning beds, and even the gym.   Wait for Sex: Give yourself about 2 days, or 24-48 hours, to recover from the wax before engaging in any sexual activity.   Keep it Loose: Avoid tight and constricting clothing for a few days after your wax. This helps the area heal faster and avoids friction, which can cause sweat and bacteria buildup.   Soothe Irritation: There is a variety of high-quality products that are designed to help soothe post-waxing irritation. You’ll want to start with something that isn’t too oily, such as a soothing, Aloe Vera Gel and then progress to cortisone cream. About two days after the wax, you can also use oils to help ensure smoothness.   Exfoliate: Two days after your wax, use a good quality exfoliant to help avoid ingrown hairs. You can make your own exfoliant. Remember, that exfoliating too soon can cause additional irritation to your skin, so you should definitely wait for the 48-hour mark, or even longer if your skin is particularly sensitive.New bumps are usually from irritation, while older bumps are from ingrown hairsTiming is key to having a positive waxing experience. Avoid scheduling during your period, and give yourself at least two days away from the gym and from any strenuous activity.It’s normal to have post-waxing bumps, and they can last for a day after your wax. Although, using a soothing gel or cream can help you get rid of the bumps faster cortisone cream is what I recommend to my clients for any irritation.Avoid contaminating the area with your fingers and avoid activities that cause frictionExfoliating two days after your wax helps get rid of ingrown hairsIf bumps persist or become itchy, you may be experiencing an allergic reaction but normally happens immediately. An over the counter allergy medication like Claritin/Cortisone Cream may help, but if the problem persists, call your doctor. It’s also a good idea to contact the spa to get the names of the products that were used, so you know what to avoid in the future.Using professional products and wax aftercare products will help ensure a better result.

Question 2

After Yoni Steam...

Accepted Answer

Some may experience increased vaginal lubrication & enhanced sexual pleasure. You may notice more moisture immediately or shortly after a steam. This is due to the radiant warmth of the far-infrared heat, which penetrates deeply into the muscles and tissues of the vagina which elicits vigorous sweating and increases oxygen flow and circulation to remove impurities, and harmful toxins such as cholesterol and heavy metals-much like with a normal sauna treatment. The sweat seepage restores and tonifies the mucous membranes in the vagina, which increases fluid pressure in the tissue of the vagina, resulting in the release of vaginal mucosa (secretions) which can enhance sexual pleasure or orgasmic sensation.   Some may experience improved vaginal tightness. Certain herbs used in our V Steam blends offer natural benefits to vaginal health and rejuvenation. Herbs such as Mint Leaves are effective in tightening the vaginal walls, and Aloe Vera which is a clinically proven remedy for tightening a loose vagina for its astringent properties. Some women experience a significant difference in sensitivity and tightness following a V Steam, resulting in heightened sexual pleasure.   Some may experience a possible change in vaginal discharge. The possibility of temporary discoloration or change in consistency of vaginal discharge can occur from the release and clearing of stagnation and toxins from the uterus. This is a natural reaction due to cellular debris, tissue overgrowth, and pathogenic factors being drawn out and cleared away by the circulatory systems. Discoloration of discharge may take up to two weeks to dissipate.   Some may experience light cramping. Sometimes when introducing new herbal remedies to the body you may experience a “healing crisis” or “rebound-phase”, whereas you feel pain before the healing as the body returns to a natural homeostasis “state of normal health” in rare instances where this is the case, clients have early onset of menses as the menstrual cycle prepares to reset and regulate itself. Old residue, like large clots, can cause cramping as they loosen and release. The uterus is helping by contracting and trying to push the matter out. If you experience cramping after steaming this is a sign that old residue has naturally debrided.  *Tip: Avoid cold and frozen foods, iced beverages and cold weather. Drink warm beverages, eat warm soup, use a heating pad, get adequate rest, take a hot shower and stretch or exercise to stimulate blood circulation. You may also sit over the open toilet using a warm sits-bath using any of our vaginal steam herbs to help the old residue flow out, use organic cotton pads or menstrual cups instead of tampons, try self-applied abdominal womb massages lying on your back with a hot towel compress.   Some may experience mild skin irritation.    Excess mucus seepage can make the vagina, vulva, and mucosa folds (vaginal rugae) itchy or inflamed especially if it has bad bacteria, yeast or an infection living in it. As this mucous is released it may cause temporary itchiness or discomfort.  * Tip: It is recommended that you keep the  external vaginal area very clean and dry, so the bacterial microbes don’t multiply. Additionally, consider wearing loose fit clothing and 100% cotton underwear in this case. You can also help to drain the excess mucous by using a peri-bottle, or hand-held shower to rinse the area clean which helps to prevent irritation. This is useful directly after steaming and also until your next V Steam session.     Some may experience the urge/tendency to dispel wind for a short period. This occurs due to the warmth of the steam resolving bloating and excess water retention caused by poor diet, hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, digestive troubles and more.   Some may experience induced menses. Rarely, a steam may encourage light spotting or bring down your period earlier than expected. Depending on the blood-color range this may indicate one of two things; Dark spotting- that the uterus is releasing old indurated menstrual residue or light pinkish, red spotting- that the steam has promoted flow of blood circulation and the uterus is resetting itself for a healthy natural cycle. This is especially important for women with irregular menstrual periods, or dysmenorrhea.  *If you are prone to intermittent spotting, bleeding or excessively heavy flow (menorrhagia) please mention that before your treatment or during intake, to ensure your yoni steam specialist can set you up on a safe, mild steam using gentle herbs.   Some may be more susceptible to pregnancy. Due to the nature of the process of getting a V Steam, the warmth of the far infrared heat in combination with wet-steam and particular herbs infused into your steam, the uterus is assisted with getting a full cleanse and releasing any blockage or pathological accumulations in the vaginal canal. Besides releasing blockage, the steam may also increase secretions from the mucous glands within the cervix, which provides an alkaline, fertile environment in the vaginal canal that is favorable to the survival of sperm. Once a healthy uterus is achieved and blood flow in the perineal area is increased- it is likely that you pregnancy may occur, as this is an optimal environment for successful implantation.

Question 3

After Facial

Accepted Answer

After a facial, your skin will probably be soft, smooth and well hydrated. However, if multiple extractions were needed or if you required a fair amount of exfoliation, your face may be somewhat rosy for one to two hours or more, depending on how sensitive your skin is. This is quite normal. You can apply mineral makeup after your facial if there is some redness you want to conceal.   What about home care?
Your esthetician will go over which professional home care products for you to continue the improvement in your skin following your professional treatment. This way, you will be using products that maximize benefits and prolong the effects of your treatment. Your therapist can explain how, when and how much of the products to use. Feel free to call the therapist later, if you have any questions.   Book your next appoint here.

Question 4

After Chemical Peel

Accepted Answer

After most peels, the skin will be pink to red, and look shiny and tight. It is vital to apply sunscreen of SFP 30 or greater to the skin for the next 48 hours, minimum. You must also stay out of the sun, as your skin will be very sensitive to UV rays and could be damaged by sun exposure. The skin will begin to flake or peel within 2–3 days after the treatment, unless you had a lactic acid peel—these encourage moisture retention and may not produce any actual peeling. Sun-damaged areas of your skin will appear darker at first, then will lighten. This is normal. Deeper peels can produce peeling for a week or more. To assist in removing the flaking skin, an enzyme peel or light microdermabrasion treatment is sometimes scheduled a week or so after the initial peel. For maximum results, a series of peels is usually recommended, and may be necessary for treating challenging issues such as hyperpigmentation.   Home care after a chemical peel
Your esthetician will recommend healing products to use for the week or two following your peel. These will soothe and nourish your skin, and aid in its recovery. Usually it is best to avoid makeup during this time, to allow the skin to heal and function without interference. However, if you must wear makeup, mineral makeup will not adversely affect the skin.   Our Pre/Post Peel Kit is highly reccomended. Book your next appointment here.
