How to look after your skin and stay smooth through winter
Winter can be tough on your skin. Cold air outside and heating indoors draw out moisture, making your skin dry and more sensitive. These changes can affect how your body reacts to waxing and how long your results last.
How Winter Affects Your Skin
- Dry air strips the skin of natural oils.
- Tightness and flaking can increase sensitivity.
- Extra layers of clothing create friction, which can lead to irritation or ingrown hairs.
Keep your skin hydrated by applying an unscented moisturiser daily and drinking enough water.
How Winter Affects Hair Growth
- Slower regrowth: Colder temperatures reduce circulation, so hair takes longer to grow back.
- Coarser texture: Some men notice thicker hair as the body adapts to the cold.
- Paler skin tone: With less sun, redness may look more obvious after waxing.
Booking every 5–6 weeks rather than 4–5 can work better during the colder months.
Winter Waxing Tips
- Exfoliate lightly two days before your appointment to lift dry skin.
- Avoid hot showers or saunas before waxing to keep your skin calm.
- Use a soothing balm or aloe-based lotion daily after treatment.
- Choose loose, breathable clothing for the first 24 hours after your wax.
