Knowing your skin type and condition is crucial to adopting a personalized beauty routine. Kurku-ma brand products, thanks to their unique formulas based on turmeric and vitamin C, kaolin, aloe vera and yellow clay, are specially designed to meet the needs of each skin type. Take care of your skin by choosing the right products, and enjoy the benefits of healthy and radiant skin.
PRE-EPILATION
When is it best to make an appointment?
Exceptionally shaved: Make an appointment between 2 and 3 weeks after shaving.
Accustomed to hair removal: It is best to come between 3 and 4 weeks after for better adhesion.
KURK-MA'S TIPS
If you often have a feeling of heavy legs, it is best to make an appointment in the morning. In the evening, your body is more tense and tired, which can make hair removal less comfortable.
Before your waxing session, take a warm shower. Warm water helps open the pores of the skin, making it easier to extract hair and reducing the pain associated with waxing. In addition, it helps cleanse the skin of impurities and product residue that could interfere with the adhesion of the wax.
Choosing the right scrub is essential for optimal skin preparation before hair removal. It is recommended to use a coarse-grained scrub for legs and rough areas, while a gentle, fine-grained scrub is ideal for sensitive areas such as the bikini line, underarms and face. By following these pre-hair removal steps, you ensure smooth skin that is ready for effective and hassle-free hair removal.
The choice between dry scrub and wet scrub depends on personal preference, skin type, and skin sensitivity. Dry scrub, as the name suggests, involves applying the product directly to dry skin. It is generally recommended for thicker, less sensitive skin.
On the other hand, wet exfoliation is gentler and more suitable for sensitive skin. It involves moistening the area to be treated before applying the treatment, allowing the grains to slide more easily over the surface of the skin.

A small amount of product is enough for each area worked. Massage gently using circular movements from bottom to top, focusing on thick and rough areas.
After exfoliating, it is recommended to rinse with lukewarm or even cool water. This choice helps reduce any redness and tighten pores. In fact, using hot water can aggravate the sensitivity of the skin, dehydrate it or dry it out further.
It is strongly advised not to apply body lotion before waxing for several reasons. First, it can reduce the adhesion of the wax, making it more difficult to apply. Second, excessive hydration makes the skin surfaces more slippery, resulting in a less precise result and requiring multiple passes over the same area.
POST-HAIR REMOVAL
What you want above all is to optimize and prolong the results of professional hair removal. Successful hair removal is not limited to just removing hair; it also aims to maintain smooth, blemish-free skin in the long term. An effective post-hair removal routine is crucial to achieve this goal. After hair removal, the skin is often sensitive and can react unpredictably.
That’s why it’s important to adopt a skincare routine that soothes and protects freshly waxed skin. Using specific post-wax products, such as soothing lotions and anti-inflammatory serums, can help calm redness and prevent irritation.
Additionally, regular skin care can help prevent common issues like pimples and ingrown hairs. The latter are often caused by dead skin cells clogging hair follicles, preventing new hair from growing properly. To prevent this, it is recommended to continue exfoliating your skin once or twice a week, even after hair removal, to keep your pores clean and clear.
Moisturizing your skin is also essential. Proper hydration helps maintain the skin's suppleness and elasticity, reducing the risk of dryness and flaking. However, it's important to choose moisturizers that are free of alcohol and parabens, which can irritate sensitive post-wax skin.
In short, prolonging the results of professional hair removal requires continuous attention and proper care. A well-structured post-hair removal routine not only improves the appearance and feel of the skin, but also prevents unpleasantness such as pimples and ingrown hairs, allowing you to fully enjoy the benefits of perfect hair removal.

AVOID WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER HAIR REMOVAL
Exposure to the sun
UV rays can cause inflammation, resulting in red spots on your skin. It is therefore crucial to cover up for 24 hours after hair removal. Avoid tight clothing that prevents proper oxygenation of the skin. Choose loose clothing and accessories such as a hat or a light dress to protect your skin from the sun's rays.
If your skin tends to tingle after hair removal, spray the affected areas with thermal water. Thermal water is rich in minerals and has soothing and anti-irritant properties, perfect for calming tingling sensations and refreshing the skin.
Swimming
While you may be eager to jump into a pool or the sea, salt or chlorine can irritate and burn your freshly shaved skin. Similarly, warm water opens up the pores of your skin, allowing germs to enter more easily, which can lead to infections. It is therefore advisable to wait at least a day before swimming to allow your skin to calm down and close its pores.
