Do: Exfoliate in between waxing to reduce the chance of ingrown hairs.
Do: Use sun protection when exposing your skin to the sun. It is especially important during the first 24 hours after waxing in order to avoid redness.
Do: Let your Esthetician know before your appointment if you have any allergies, health conditions, or are taking any medication, like Accutane, or if you are using any topical lotions or creams like AHAs or Retin-A, which are not compatible with waxing.
Don’t: Drink alcohol or other stimulants such as caffeine prior to waxing because stimulants tighten your pores.
Don’t: Shave before making a waxing appointment. The Esthetician needs some hair growth for the wax to adhere.
