Hair removal and skincare at home: a guide

What hair removal and facial and body treatments at home include, how to prepare your skin and which precautions to take before and after.

2 min read ·

Having hair removal or skincare at home is convenient and discreet. Good preparation and a few precautions make the difference to both the result and your comfort.

What you can request

Hair removal (waxing or other methods), facial treatments for cleansing, hydration or exfoliation, and body care. State the areas and the type of treatment you want in the request.

How to prepare your skin

For waxing, the hair must be long enough, which the professional can tell you. Avoid applying creams, oils or self-tanner just before and arrive with clean, dry skin. For a facial, come without make-up if possible.

Sensitivity, allergies and health

Mention sensitive skin, allergies, medication that affects the skin, varicose veins, recent sunburn, skin conditions and pregnancy. A responsible professional adapts the treatment or advises against it if there is a risk. If you have reacted to products in the past, say so before starting.

Hygiene

The professional should use clean equipment, products in good condition and single-use spatulas and cloths where appropriate. If anything does not seem right, you can ask them to stop: it is your right and it matters for avoiding irritation and infection.

Aftercare

Avoid direct sun, saunas, swimming pools and harsh products for as long as the professional advises. Moisturise the skin and do not rub it. With the Costa del Sol summer, sun protection is especially important after any treatment.

How to describe the service to get accurate offers

State the areas, the type of treatment, the date and time, and whether it is your first time. For several treatments in the same visit, request them in a single request.

What to expect

The session takes place in a comfortable, private space that you prepare, with a table or suitable surface. You agree the price before paying and the payment is only released when you confirm the service. See also our guide to booking a hairdresser, nails and massage at home.
