Smooth and Summer-Ready: Perron Rigot’s Top Waxing Tips

Summer is here and it’s the season of dresses, skirts, shorts, and, of course—swimsuits! People will want to make sure they have smooth, hair-free skin that’s ready for sunny days and beach outings. Whether you’re just starting with waxing or are a seasoned pro, achieving the perfect summer-ready skin for your clients requires the right technique and the right products. Enter Perron Rigot, the premiere brand for professional waxing solutions and pre and post-care.

Below are our top waxing tips featuring Perron Rigot products to ensure a smooth, sleek, and long-lasting wax for your clients. 

1. Prep the skin for a smooth, safe start

Proper skin preparation is key to an exceptional wax. Clients should exfoliate their skin a day or two before their waxing session. This will remove dead skin cells, helping the wax adhere to hair rather than skin. Avoid exfoliating too aggressively to prevent sensitivity. Exfoliation will also prevent ingrown hairs.

Be sure to clean the waxing area by using a low-alcohol product like Perron Rigot’s Purifying Blue Lotion. Simply spray it on a cotton pad and wipe the skin to remove oil and residue, preventing bacteria and reducing the risk of breakouts.

To ensure a smoother, more comfortable waxing experience, use a pre-wax oil like Perron Rigot’s Pre & Post Depilatory Oil. This oil creates a barrier between the skin and hair, allowing the wax to lift hair effortlessly and reducing the need for excessive flicking. Apply just one drop, blot away excess oil, and enjoy less pain and redness for a more comfortable treatment.

2. Choose the Right Wax

Perron Rigot offers a range of waxes designed to cater to different skin types and hair textures. For example, you can elevate your hair removal routine with Perron Rigot’s Cirépil Boudoir Non-Strip Wax. This luxurious wax offers a creamy, low-temperature application that’s both gentle and effective, ideal for sensitive skin. Its hypoallergenic formula ensures a smooth, precise application and efficient hair removal, while its delicate fragrance adds a touch of elegance to the experience.

When versatility is key, there is the ever-luxurious Cirépil Cachemire Non-Strip Wax. This premium wax offers a smooth, effortless application with minimal discomfort, thanks to its high-quality ingredients and low-temperature formula. Its superior grip efficiently removes even the shortest hairs, while its gentle fragrance and versatile use make it ideal for a silky, irritation-free finish on all areas of the body.

For a real escape, Cirépil Fiorella Non-Strip Wax offers a spring-like fragrance and a spa-like feel.

3. Master the Technique

Applying wax correctly can make all the difference in achieving a flawless finish. Use Perron Rigot’s Wax Heaters to ensure your wax is at the perfect temperature. Too hot, and it can burn; too cold, and it won’t spread evenly. Ensure your hands are clean and sanitised and, using gloves, apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of hair growth with our waxing spatulas and place a wax strip on the area. Press down firmly, then quickly pull the strip off against the direction of hair growth. For a smoother experience, ensure that your wax is at a consistency that allows for easy application and removal.

4. Soothe and Hydrate Post-Wax

After waxing, the skin might feel a bit sensitive. Use Perron Rigot’s Pre & Post Depilatory Oilto soothe and calm the area. The Perron Rigot Moisturising Body Lotion is also the perfect post-waxing solution and an ideal choice for a relaxing massage. This luxurious, silky milk formula offers a soothing touch and deeply hydrates the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. Designed to absorb quickly, it leaves no greasy residue behind, making it perfect for use after a waxing session to calm and nourish the skin.

5. Maintain Your Smooth Skin

To keep your skin smoother for longer, avoid hot baths, saunas, and sun exposure immediately after waxing. Exfoliate regularly to prevent ingrown hairs and keep the skin smooth. Using Perron Rigot’s Hair Minimising lotion can help maintain hydrated, soft skin. Ideal for daily use, this nourishing body lotion features 92% natural ingredients, including Arnica and Mint. It visibly softens skin, reduces hair regrowth, and makes hair finer and less noticeable. The lotion also soothes skin and slows down hair growth while decreasing hair density.

Want to say goodbye to ingrown hairs? Perron Rigot’s Ingrown Hair Care Serum features a blend of exfoliating Papaya extract and antiseptic Badiane to purify skin, prevent ingrown hairs, and deliver quick, visible results. This dermatologist-tested, 91% natural, vegan serum provides smooth, flawless skin with a refreshing scent and easy, non-greasy application.
