• Avoid Exfoliation: Refrain from using exfoliating products, including acids and scrubs, for at least 48 hours before your appointment.
• Hydrate Your Skin: Moisturized skin allows for better waxing results, so ensure your skin is well-hydrated.
• Skip Retinoids: Discontinue the use of retinol or prescription retinoids 5-7 days before your waxing session to prevent irritation.
• Clean Skin: Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, oils, or lotions for the best results.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure or tanning 48 hours before your appointment to reduce sensitivity.

• Soothe Your Skin: Apply a calming product like aloe vera or a post-waxing balm to reduce redness and irritation.

• No Exfoliation: Wait at least 72 hours before exfoliating the treated area to prevent irritation.
