Hair removal—whether waxing, sugaring, or shaving—leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth, but it can also bring unwanted side effects like redness, irritation, and ingrown hairs. At Just The Strip, we’ve created the perfect two-step system to not only prevent these issues but also heal and nourish your skin:
✨ Step 1: A Chemical Exfoliant (Smooth Operator or Truth Serum)
✨ Step 2: Our Nourishing Oils
This duo is designed to keep your skin soft, glowing, and free from the bumps and irritation that can come with hair removal.
Step 1: Exfoliate & Treat with a Serum
Smooth Operator Ingrown Hair Serum
Our cult-favorite Smooth Operator is the go-to choice for preventing and treating ingrown hairs. Formulated with salicylic, glycolic, and lactic acids, it gently exfoliates while hydrating your skin. The result? Clearer, brighter, irritation-free skin.
- Prevents ingrown hairs & razor burn
- Fades dark spots and evens skin tone
- Available in a mess-free rollerball or easy disposable pads
- Choose from our signature Dreamsicle scent—bright, light, and refreshing

Truth Serum Ingrown Hair Serum
Prefer an all-natural, pregnancy-safe option? Truth Serum is packed with botanical ingredients like witch hazel, golden chamomile, and aloe. It calms irritation, reduces redness, and brightens skin naturally.
- Soothes sensitive skin
- Hydrates and promotes skin healing
- Brightens dark spots for an even glow
- 100 ml spray bottle for easy at-home or in-studio use

Both serums are powerful yet gentle, making them the ideal first step to treat skin immediately after waxing, shaving, or sugaring.
Step 2: Nourish & Protect with Oils
After exfoliation, your skin needs deep hydration and protection. That’s where Just The Strip’s Nourishing Oils come in. Designed to soften both the skin and hair follicle, these oils make post-hair removal recovery smoother while preventing irritation and bumps.
- Hydrates & nourishes skin
- Prevents razor burn and ingrown hairs
- Softens follicles so hairs release more easily
All-natural formulas with six signature scents:

The result? Skin that stays clear, soft, and radiant—no bumps, no redness, no discomfort.
