Pre–Post–Wax Care

At Olive Glow Esthetics, we believe glowing skin is a journey that begins before your appointment and continues well after you leave our studio. This guide was created to help you prepare your skin with intention and care, ensuring your service is both effective and comfortable. With the right pre-care and aftercare, your skin can heal beautifully, stay smooth longer, and maintain that healthy Olive Glow. Trust the process, follow the guidance, and allow your skin the time and attention it deserves—because great results don’t end at the treatment, they’re maintained through mindful care.
