Just a bit of advise for those of you who wax either your brows or upper lip... Waxing and skin care done on the same day can be a bad combination.
If you're planning on doing both the same day and you have these services done at different places - be sure to let the people performing both services know. Some places request that you wait a specific period of time between services to avoid complications. Other places may go ahead with your treatment, avoiding the waxed areas and/or using barrier creams to keep any exfoliating products away from the waxed areas. Call ahead to find out the spa/salons policy.
Threading does not cause any issues as it does not remove the upper layer(s) of the epi-dermis.
A posting of miscellaneous information pertaining, for the most part, to skin care, hair removal and esthetics. A medical esthetician and certified medical electrologist with a Degree in Natural Health, I have 11 years experience that include the spa industry and medical aesthetics with plastic surgeons and dermatologists. I also do freelance skin care training and am currently designing The Aesthetic Apothecary. Stay tuned for more information on that exciting adventure!
