07.31.2025

When it comes to summer beauty, nothing feels quite as fresh as smooth, glowing skin, especially on your face. At Rejuve Salon & Spa, we specialize in facial waxing services designed to help you look and feel confident, all season long.

Whether you're booking a brow wax before a special event, removing peach fuzz for smoother makeup application, or simply wanting a polished, natural look, our expert estheticians are here to deliver precise, professional results with your comfort in mind.

Ready for your best summer skin yet? Here’s everything you need to know about facial waxing during the warmer months and how Rejuve can help you maintain a radiant, carefree glow.

Why Facial Waxing Is a Summer Staple

Summer skincare isn’t just about SPF and hydration it’s also about keeping things simple. Facial waxing is a quick, effective way to remove unwanted hair from areas like the eyebrows, upper lip, chin, and cheeks, helping your skin look smooth and feel refreshed without the daily upkeep of tweezing or shaving.

Some of the top reasons our guests love facial waxing in the summer:

• Less time spent on grooming

• More even makeup application

• Cleaner-looking skin in natural light

• Longer-lasting results (3–4 weeks)

At Rejuve, we use high-quality wax designed for sensitive skin to minimize irritation and leave your skin soft, smooth, and ready to take on the sunshine.

Pre-Wax Prep: How to Get the Best Results

The smoother the skin, the better the wax, so preparing properly makes a big difference. Here’s how to get your skin ready before your facial waxing appointment:

Let the Hair Grow (Slightly!)

Facial hair should be at least ? inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) so the wax can grip it properly. Avoid tweezing or shaving for about 1–2 weeks before your appointment for the best results.

Avoid Exfoliants and Retinols

In the 3–5 days leading up to your appointment, steer clear of skincare products that include retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid in the area being waxed. These ingredients can thin the skin and make it more prone to irritation or lifting.

Skip the Sun

Facial waxing on sunburned or freshly tanned skin is a no-go. Avoid tanning beds and direct sunlight for 24–48 hours prior to your wax to reduce the risk of discomfort or redness.

Communicate With Your Esthetician

Let your esthetician know if you’re using prescription skincare, undergoing chemical peels, or have any sensitivities or allergies. At Rejuve, we always customize your service for your skin's health and safety.

Post-Wax Care: Protect and Soothe Your Skin

Facial skin is delicate, especially after waxing. Taking care of your skin afterward is essential to prevent irritation and keep your glow going strong.

Soothe and Calm

After your wax, we’ll apply a calming product to reduce any redness. Once you’re home, feel free to use aloe vera, witch hazel, or a cool compress if your skin feels a little warm or sensitive.

Avoid Makeup and Heat

Try to skip makeup for the rest of the day to give your pores time to breathe. Avoid hot showers, steam rooms, and heavy sweating for at least 12–24 hours post-wax.

Protect From the Sun

Freshly waxed skin is more sensitive to UV rays, so apply a mineral SPF before heading outside and reapply regularly. It’s one of the best ways to prevent sun damage and post-wax pigmentation.

Exfoliate (Gently) After a Few Days

Once your skin has had a few days to recover, start exfoliating gently a couple of times a week to help prevent ingrown hairs and keep your skin smooth.

Waxing Do’s and Don’ts for Your Face

Here’s a quick refresher to help you protect your skin and get the most out of your wax:

DO:

• Come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin

• Moisturize and wear SPF every day

• Schedule facial waxing at least 3–5 days before a big event

• Communicate openly about any skincare products or concerns

DON’T:

• Wax right before or after a beach day or tanning session

• Pick or exfoliate aggressively after waxing

• Apply retinol, acids, or peels to freshly waxed skin

• Book facial waxing on the same day as a facial or chemical treatment

Facial waxing is one of the simplest ways to feel instantly refreshed and polished and when done professionally, it’s fast, effective, and gentle. At Rejuve Salon & Spa, we take pride in delivering personalized, expert care so you leave every appointment glowing with confidence.
