Planning to thread your upper lip or remove facial hair? Avoid scheduling it immediately before your event if you are prone to redness, bumps, or post-inflammatory pigmentation. If you use retinoids or other potentially irritating skincare products, consult your dermatologist about how to time hair removal safely. Never wax skin that is irritated or peeling. The skin barrier needs to be protected by avoiding unnecessary experiments with the skin and opting for treatments as per the skin concern.
The final tip: Never go after instant face glow with an all-new 10-step routine.
