What is a Vajacial?

Vajacials have been around for a few years and made popular on social media but they are a glorified facial for your lady bits!

Before you roll your eyes or think why?! Well for those of you who wax or even shave your most intimate areas, ingrown hairs are often a concern and issues that many deal with and vajacials help and can completely heal the issue.

So what does a vajacial include?

First step is to Cleanse the area under steam. Then add a brightening enzyme for exfoliate. Next we extract and remove all ingrown in a ways that doesn’t harm the skin but clears everything out without causing scaring or damage to the skin. For those who have active breakouts we will either do LED light therapy or high frequency for a few minutes to clear out any bacteria. Finally we finish with a Hydrojelly Mask and will finish with a brightening serum revealing calm, clear skin,

How often do i have to do it?

I recommend getting them with your monthly wax to start until you feel like your ingrown are under control and then it can be done every few appointments for maintenance to make sure they issue doesn’t return.

How much does it cost?

On average they are anywhere from $55-$75. At Pure Excellence, we charge $60 and it can be added on right after your wax appointment for immediate calm skin.

We look forward to treating you to this service at your next appointment. If you are local to Denver Metro we serve South Denver located in Lone Tree, serving Highlands Ranch, Parker, Littleton, Castle Rock, and Centennial.

We all love being smooth and hair free but some can develop ingrown hairs from shaving and hair removal services such as waxing or sugaring.

How Do They Develop

Ingrown are caused with irritation and too much buildup of dead skin in the pore where the hair is trying to regrow and push back out of the pore. Some experience these from a bad razor or as the hair is starting to grow back after a wax so around 2 weeks post wax.

How Do I Prevent Them

EXFOLIATE! Exfoliation is going to be your best friend. I recommend two types of exfoliation; chemical and physical. Everyone should own a exfoliation glove (not a washcloth or sponge these harbor too much bacteria). Use this 3x a week in the shower this will help the hair grow back through and not get blocked by dead skin and causing an ingrown hair.
A chemical exfoliation would be a serum or product made to help with ingrown hairs. These usually contain an AHA (Glycolic acid or Salicylic) these work by going deep in the pore and cleaning it as the hair grows back through. I personally recommend Serious Serum - this product was produced by an esthetician and is calming while exfoliating containing glycolic acid, chamomile and willow tree bark.

Hydration & Body Washes

Sometimes we are looking to heal this on our own and learn some fun Ideas from Pinterest on at home care. Here are the ones that I typically hear of and please don’t do this to your skin, you will only make it worse;
- Any type of scrub created at home (sugar, coffee grounds, etc.) these are harsh and cause micro-tears in the skin causing more irritation
-Any hydration oil that can clog your pores or lotions that contain too much fragrance (coconut oil)

What Not To Do Post Wax

You can be causing more harm than good if you are doing the following after your wax:

working out (before 24 hours)
wearing tight clothing post-wax
wearing lacy underwear (if you are struggling with bikini line ingrowns this could be the culprit)
going to a hot tub or sitting in unclean water (24 hours)

In conclusion…

When getting waxed it does take some extra effort to keep your skin beautiful and smooth but it will work in the long run and keep your enjoying your wax without the painful and unsightly look of ingrown hairs.
