sunbeds after waxing

[jean nurse]

is it ok for me to go on sunbeds after i have been waxed? and why?

thanks x x x

Its not advisable as waxing usually removes a layer of the epidermis, thus making the skin extra sensitive and more prone to burning. I would wait at least 48 hours.

Shouldnt go on sunbeds anyway! But thats a whole other subject :o)

Why do you ask 'and why?' Why what?

Sorry, reading your question again, did you mean 'And if not, why not??' !

i went on a few hours after waxing and little sweat rash/prickly heat thing came up. Died down over night but i would suggest wait at least 24 hours anyway. Just really the heat thing, best not to do exercise or anything on same day as waxing too as this rash is likely to come up. No longlasting problems though - except of course from sunbed use but as alijangra said is a whole different posting!!

no you will be ok to go on the sunbed 24 hrs after waxing as it can make the area sensitive and could be slight erythema(redness)
