As the leaves turn and the jumpers come out, September is actually the best time to begin (or restart) your waxing routine.
Why? Because starting in the cooler months means by the time summer rolls around again, your skin is smoother, your hair growth is finer, and you’ll feel more confident stepping into shorts, dresses, or the pool.
At The Farmhouse Sanctuary, we only use Ashmira Botanica waxing products — a luxury, vegan-friendly, and skin-loving brand that’s known for being gentle yet effective. Their formulations are packed with natural botanicals that protect, nourish, and calm your skin during and after your wax.
What We Offer: Full Waxing Menu
We don’t believe in “one size fits all” — which is why we cover every area of waxing for both women and men:
-
Facial Waxing & also Threading – brows, lip, chin, and sides for a clean, defined look.

Why Choose Waxing Over Shaving?
Waxing goes beyond a quick fix. Here’s why our clients love it:
-
Finer regrowth – hair grows back softer and sparser over time.
-
Longer-lasting results – smooth skin for 3–6 weeks, depending on your hair cycle.
-
No daily upkeep – save time compared to shaving.
-
Smoother finish – no razor bumps, stubble, or cuts.

Waxing FAQs
Does waxing hurt?
Everyone’s pain threshold is different, but most clients say it’s far less painful than they expected. Using Ashmira Botanica’s gentle waxes, we minimise discomfort with soothing botanicals that calm the skin instantly.
How often should I wax?
We recommend every 4–6 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. Regular waxing trains the hair to grow back finer and makes each appointment easier.
Is waxing suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes! Ashmira Botanica is formulated with natural botanicals and free from harsh chemicals. It’s ideal for sensitive skin and reduces redness compared to many traditional waxes.
What areas can I wax?
Pretty much anywhere! We cover facial waxing (brows, lip, chin), body waxing (legs, arms, underarms), intimate waxing (from bikini tidy to Hollywood), and male waxing (back, chest, shoulders, brows).
How long does the hair need to be?
For the best results, hair should be about ¼ inch long (roughly the length of a grain of rice). This ensures the wax can grip properly.
Can men get waxed too?
Absolutely. We have a growing male client base who love the results of waxing for the back, chest, shoulders, and even brows.
What should I do before my wax?
-
Gently exfoliate 24 hours before.
-
Avoid moisturisers or oils on the day.
-
Wear loose clothing for comfort afterwards.
Waxing and Retinol: What You Need to Know
If you’re using retinol (or other active skincare ingredients like AHAs or BHAs), it’s really important to let us know before any facial waxing. Retinol increases skin cell turnover, which can make your skin more sensitive and prone to lifting during waxing.
Our advice:
-
Pause retinol use at least 5–7 days before facial waxing.
-
Avoid applying retinol for 48 hours after your wax to allow the skin to settle.
-
If in doubt, just ask us — we’ll guide you on what’s safe.
We’ll always put your skin’s health first. Combining Ashmira Botanica’s skin-loving waxes with the right skincare routine ensures smooth results and happy, healthy skin.
What about aftercare?
We’ll guide you, but the basics are:
-
Avoid heat treatments, saunas, swimming, and tight clothing for 24 hours.
-
Use Ashmira Botanica aftercare products to calm the skin and prevent ingrowns.
-
Exfoliate gently a few days post-wax to keep skin smooth.
