These Skincare Products are Gamechangers for Your Wax Business

 

Let’s be real, your wax skills can be flawless, but if your client’s skin isn’t prepped (or cared for after), the ideal results just got more challenging. The secret to smoother results, fewer bumps, and happier repeat clients? A simple pre + post-wax skincare routine you can teach, sell, and turn into serious add-on revenue—possibly up to more than $2,500-$5,000 in revenue. 

 

Skincare Products for Pre-Wax Success

The Prep MVPs: Berodin Body Wash + Body Exfoliation Kit

  • Berodin Body Wash is a daily body wash that does more than just “get clean.” It features glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation to help prevent bumps and ingrown hairs. Add pine essential oil to cleanse and condition, and bladderwrack sea minerals to nourish and prevent dryness. 

  • The Berodin Body Exfoliation Kit (body wash + exfoliating gloves) sloughs off dead skin and leaves skin soft, smooth, and ready for waxing. Think about selling both the body wash and the kit to maximize retail sales opportunities.

Post Wax Skincare for Clear Skin and Loyal Clients 

Post-wax care is where you protect your results.

  • Post Wax Soothing Cream: A cooling cream that helps reduce redness fast—Canadian willow bark can reduce redness by 40–60% in three minutes—plus green/white tea antioxidants and arnica to calm, moisturize, and support healing.

  • Blemish Control Gel: For clients prone to post-wax breakouts. Organic sulfur helps suppress bacteria, allantoin supports healing, and lemon astringent tones and controls oil.

  • Post Wax Essential Oil: Lavender + mandarin to soothe and reduce bacteria, and jojoba to nourish and soften.

 

How To Sell Without Feeling “Salesy”

To sell without feeling “salesy,” keep it focused on results and position products as part of the plan: “If you want fewer ingrowns and smoother skin, this is your at-home routine.” Then make it easy by offering simple choices—either one targeted product or a starter kit to cover the basics. For pricing, a straightforward strategy is to aim for 100% markup on the wholesale cost, resulting in a 50% gross profit margin. Remember, even a single $25–$45 add-on per appointment can noticeably boost the value of each visit—without adding a single extra minute to your schedule.
