Things To Know Before Waxing
When you make an appointment for a body waxing service, please make sure you have a quarter inch of growth or generally speaking 2-3 weeks of growth by date of the appointment. This will ensure a successful service. One or two days before the scheduled appointment, you should exfoliate the area that is to be waxed. The day of the appointment, you should avoid using a moisturizer. Be sure not to tan 24-48 hours before waxing-as it increases sensitivity. If you are using Accutane, Retin-A, Differin, Renova, blood thinners, alpha hydroxy products or have high anti-biotic use, you may not be a good candidate for a waxing service. Certain physical conditions such as diabetes, pregnancy and a pre-disposition to cold sores may also cause heightened sensitivity.
