- 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.
Post-Care Instructions:
- Soothe Your Skin: Apply a calming product like aloe vera or a post-waxing balm to reduce redness and irritation.
- Avoid Heat: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, and exercise that causes sweating for 24-48 hours after waxing.
- No Exfoliation: Wait at least 72 hours before exfoliating the treated area to prevent irritation.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from UV rays with a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours.
