• Stop all retinols/retinoids in the area being waxed at least 72 hours before your appointment.
• Accutane (isotretinoin): Waxing cannot be performed while taking Accutane or for 6 months after stopping it.
• Let me know if you have allergies, are taking antibiotics, or use any medications/products that may cause skin sensitivity.
• Avoid exfoliating acids, scrubs and other exfoliants in the area for at least 72 hours before waxing.
• For body and Brazilian waxing, consider skipping or limiting caffeine beforehand—it can make you feel more sensitive during your wax.
For the first 24–48 hours, treat freshly waxed skin gently:
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning.
• Skip pools, hot tubs, lakes and swimming.
• Don't scrub or exfoliate the area.
• Avoid saunas, hot yoga and excessive heat.
• Keep skincare simple and gentle—freshly waxed skin doesn't need a bunch of products.
• Avoid heavy workouts or excessive sweating.
• Wear loose, breathable clothing and avoid unnecessary friction.
• After a Brazilian, avoid sexual activity for 24 hours to minimize friction and irritation.
And most importantly—listen to your skin. If you're feeling extra sensitive or irritated, give it a little more time before returning to heat, exfoliation, workouts or your usual products.
• Stop all retinols/retinoids and exfoliants at least 72 hours before your appointment.
• Let me know about any allergies, antibiotics, medications or supplements that may cause skin sensitivity.
• Please share any prescription topical skincare you're currently using.
• Let me know about over-the-counter acne products or active skincare products you're using at home.
• Tell me if you've experienced sensitivity or reactions to facials in the past.
• Your preferences matter! If there's something you've loved—or haven't enjoyed—during previous facials, please let me know.
Every facial is customized to your skin, your goals and your comfort. Your treatment can be adjusted throughout your appointment while still making sure your skin gets all the benefits it needs.
Keep things simple and let your skin enjoy all that goodness:
• Wear SPF daily and limit direct sun exposure.
• Avoid working out, excessive sweating, saunas and hot yoga for at least 24 hours or as recommended after your specific treatment.
• Keep skincare gentle and simple and hold off on retinols, acids and exfoliants until your skin is ready.
• Sleep on a fresh, clean pillowcase.
• Stay hydrated.
• Follow any specific aftercare recommendations given during your appointment.
And most importantly... enjoy that glow!
