10) Use a hot soapy washcloth in the shower at some point the same day after your wax. It finishes cleaning out the pores and helps reduce irritation.
Please avoid moisturizing soaps or liquid body washes with a lot of perfumes and emollients because that can fill your pores with unwanted gunk and cause irritation.
