It’s best to avoid exfoliation, too, at least for the two days before your wax, said Jennifer Guest, a licensed esthetician with nearly 26 years of experience at the Newport Beach and Rancho Santa Margarita luxury day spa called Spa Gregorie’s.
“Recently exfoliated skin can be more sensitive and prone to irritation,” she explained.
Exfoliation altogether isn’t a complete no-no, however.
“A lack of exfoliation means that ingrown hairs are more likely, and the waxer may have to go over the area multiple times to remove the hair (if using hard wax or sugar),” said Hadiyah Daché, a master esthetician and expert in waxing and sugaring who owns Glowdega in Oakland, California.
She encouraged using an exfoliating product three times a week, plus hydrating the area daily with unscented aloe vera gel. (But again, not within a couple days of your appointment.)
