THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE WAXING SERVICE

  • Don’t shave

​

  • Do avoid exfoliating or drying products before you wax. Although people have varying levels of skin sensitivity, products containing exfoliating ingredients can make skin even more sensitive than normal—and even prone to burning. So about 1-2 weeks before you wax, stop using OTC retinol products, any alpha hydroxy acids, and exfoliating products like scrubs.

​

  • Retinoids and waxing are both forms of exfoliation. For regular users, who generally have fewer dead skin cells on their skin - lip, eyebrow, or any facial waxing can strip away part of the epidermis, resulting in abrasion.

​

  • DO call a doctor if the waxed area still hurts 24 hours later. If you notice anything funky the next day—whether it’s pain, swelling, pus, or a strange odor—make an appointment with your doctor or dermatologist ASAP.
