If you have lots of body and facial hair, laser hair removal is a great way to permanently get rid of all this hair. With laser removal, you are rid of the task of shaving and waxing hair every so often. However, laser removal tends to leave your skin much more sensitive than usual.

Tips for Skin Care After Laser Treatment for Hair Removal

This will help keep your skin clear and skin. If you have to wear makeup for a special occasion, use mineral makeup and not even non-comedogenic makeup.

Body wraps make your skin smooth

If you had a full body laser removal, give your body a body wraps. These wraps infuse the skin with moisture, emollients and other ingredients that help repair sensitive skin and to give silky and smooth skin.

Though you will be wearing a body wrap, don’t miss on applying a quality moisturizer after your laser hair removal treatment. The moisturizer will boost your skin and make it responsive to at-home moisture infusion.
