Your Pre and Post Care Guide
Friendly Tips for happy skin and long-lasting results from your favorite esthetician!
Waxing
Before Your Wax:
Get ready to wax smooth by exfoliating the area two days before your appointment. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and preps the skin. On the day of, avoid applying lotion or deodorant to the area. Your hair should be about the length of a grain of rice for best results. Wearing loose-fitting clothes will help you stay comfy post-service. If you're using retinols or acne medication (like Face Reality products), pause use five days prior to avoid irritation.
After Your Wax:
Keep things gentle! Avoid exfoliating for 48 hours and don’t rub the waxed area. Hold off on activities that cause sweating like workouts or saunas, and drink lots of water to keep your skin happy and hydrated.

After Your Peel: Be kind to your skin! Apply SPF daily and avoid direct sun for at least two days. Stick to a simple skincare routine, and don’t pick or peel at your skin. Avoid waxing and any sweaty activities (like working out) for the first week. Stay hydrated—inside and out!
Lash and Brow
Lash Lift
Before Your Appointment: Skip eye makeup and come with clean, bare lashes.
After Your Lift: Don’t get your lashes wet for 24 hours. Avoid mascara, steam, and lash curlers, and be gentle with your lashes. Brush through them once a day to keep them lifted and lovely. Your lash lift will last 4–6 weeks with proper care.​
Brow Lamination
Before Your Appointment: Stop using retinols or Face Reality acne meds five days ahead of your appointment to keep your skin in tip-top shape.
After Your Lamination: Daily styling is key! Brow lamination softens the hairs so they can be brushed and styled to perfection. A little effort each day keeps them looking fluffy and fabulous.
