When Is the Best Time to Get a Facial?
The best time to get a facial really depends on your skin goals, but timing does matter more than most people think.

✨ Before a big event:
Schedule your facial 7–10 days before a wedding, vacation, photoshoot, or special occasion. This gives your skin time to fully glow, redness to calm, and any minor purging to pass.

🌿 For maintenance & healthy skin:
A facial every 4–6 weeks is ideal. This aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle and helps keep pores clear, hydration balanced, and skin texture smooth.

🧖‍♀️ When your skin feels “off”:
Breakouts, dryness, dullness, or congestion are all signs your skin is asking for extra care. A targeted facial can reset and rebalance things fast.

🌙 Seasonal changes:
Skin needs shift with the weather. Think hydrating facials in winter, deep cleansing in summer, and gentle resets during seasonal transitions.

Bottom line? The best time for a facial is before your skin starts begging for one. Consistency beats last-minute fixes every time.

Ingrown Hairs: Causes, Treatment & Prevention Between Waxing Appointments.

Ingrown hairs are a common skin concern, especially after waxing or shaving. They happen when a hair grows back into the skin instead of rising up and out, leading to redness, bumps, inflammation, and sometimes infection.

What Causes Ingrown Hairs?
Ingrown hairs can develop for several reasons, including:

Dead skin buildup blocking the hair follicle
Hair texture, especially coarse or curly hair that naturally bends back into the skin.

Improper hair removal, such as shaving too close or waxing without proper aftercare
Tight clothing that creates friction and traps hair beneath the skin.

Skipping exfoliation between waxing appointments.

How to Treat Ingrown Hairs

If you already have ingrown hairs, gentle care is key:

Exfoliate regularly using a mild physical or chemical exfoliant to help free trapped hairs
Apply soothing products with ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, tea tree oil, or aloe vera
Keep the area clean and moisturized to support skin healing.
Avoid picking or squeezing, as this can cause scarring or infection
Let the hair grow out so it can naturally break through the skin.
For severe or persistent ingrowns, professional treatments or a dermatologist’s advice may be needed.

How to Prevent Ingrown Hairs Between Waxing Appointments.

Prevention is the best strategy:
Start exfoliating 48 hours after waxing, 2–3 times per week.
Moisturize daily to keep skin soft and flexible.
Wear loose-fitting clothing for the first few days after waxing.
Avoid shaving between appointments, as this increases ingrown risk.

Stick to a consistent waxing schedule, which helps weaken hair over time
With proper aftercare and routine maintenance, ingrown hairs can be significantly reduced, leaving skin smoother, healthier, and more comfortable between waxing appointments.

When Is the Right Time to Resume Hair Removal After Cancer Treatment?

Finishing cancer treatment is a huge milestone. For many people, it also marks the moment they start reconnecting with their body and that can include thinking about hair removal again. 💛

The short answer is that there is no single timeline that fits everyone. The right time depends on your treatment, your skin, and how your body is healing.

Here are some key things to consider.

1. Give Your Skin Time to Recover
Chemotherapy, radiation, and other cancer treatments can leave the skin thinner, drier, more sensitive, or more prone to irritation. Even if hair has started to grow back, your skin may still be healing beneath the surface. Many medical professionals recommend waiting several weeks to a few months after treatment ends, and sometimes longer.

2. Get Clearance From Your Medical Team
Before restarting any form of hair removal, especially laser or light based treatments, it is essential to check with your oncologist or dermatologist. They can confirm that your immune system has recovered, your skin barrier is strong enough, and there is no ongoing sensitivity, nerve changes, or increased risk of delayed healing.

3. Start Gently
When you do return to hair removal, take a gradual approach. Patch testing is essential. Avoid aggressive treatments at first and be prepared for the possibility that hair texture and growth patterns may have changed. What worked before treatment may need to be adjusted now, and that is completely normal.

4. Listen to Your Body
Redness, burning, prolonged irritation, or discomfort are signs to pause. Healing is not always linear, and your body gets to set the pace.

5. Work With a Practitioner Experienced in Post Cancer Care
If you are considering professional hair removal, choose a provider who understands skin after cancer treatment and is comfortable collaborating with your medical team. This can make a significant difference in both safety and peace of mind.

Bottom line: Returning to hair removal after cancer is not about rushing. It is about readiness. Your comfort, safety, and healing always come first.

Electrolysis (30 yrs Experience)

Pre-Care (Before Your Session)

Avoid Sun Exposure:
Try not to tan or have sunburned skin in the area to be treated for at least a week prior. Tanned or irritated skin is more sensitive and prone to complications.

Skip Certain Skincare Products:
Avoid using retinoids, exfoliants, or acids (like glycolic or salicylic) for a few days before. These can make skin more sensitive.

Clean Skin:
Make sure the area is clean, free of lotions, oils, or makeup. This ensures the electrode can work effectively.

Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications (If Possible):
If safe and cleared by a doctor, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners a day or two before treatment, they can increase bleeding or bruising.

Shave, Don’t Wax:
Shaving the area a day or two before is ideal. Electrolysis needs the hair follicle intact, so avoid waxing, plucking, or threading before treatment.

Hydrate and Rest:
Drink water and get enough rest, your skin will respond better when it’s well-rested and hydrated.

Post-Care (After Your Session)

Soothe the Area:
Use a cold compress or gentle aloe vera to calm redness and swelling.

Avoid Irritation:
For at least 24–48 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, swimming pools, or vigorous exercise that can cause sweating.

Gentle Cleansing:
Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers and avoid scrubbing. Pat dry instead of rubbing.

No Picking or Scratching:
Let scabs, redness, or swelling heal naturally, picking can cause scarring.

Skip Sun Exposure:
Keep treated areas out of direct sunlight or use a gentle sunscreen for at least a week to avoid pigmentation changes.

Moisturize:
A gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer can help skin recover faster.

Avoid Hair Removal:
No waxing, plucking, or depilatory creams on treated areas between sessions, let the follicle heal.

Extra Tips
Minor redness or swelling is normal, but severe pain, blisters, or persistent irritation should be checked by your electrologist.

Consistency is key: multiple sessions are usually needed for permanent results.

Healing times vary depending on the area and your skin type, but usually redness and tenderness subside within a few hours to a couple of days.

Sugar hair removal, also known as sugaring, offers several benefits compared to traditional waxing methods:

Gentler on Skin: Sugar paste is made from natural ingredients like sugar, lemon juice, and water, making it less likely to irritate the skin. It's also less painful because it only adheres to the hair, not the skin.

Less Risk of Ingrown Hairs: Sugaring tends to pull hair in the direction of growth, reducing the risk of hair breakage and ingrown hairs.

Natural Ingredients: The sugar paste is chemical-free and uses ingredients that are more skin-friendly, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

Exfoliates Skin: The sugar paste also acts as a gentle exfoliant, removing dead skin cells while removing hair.

Longer Lasting Results: Sugaring can result in smoother skin for 3 to 6 weeks, as it removes hair from the root.

Easier Clean-Up: Sugar paste is water-soluble, so it's easy to clean up with just water, unlike wax that may require special removers.

Suitable for All Skin Types: Since sugaring is so gentle and natural, it's suitable for all skin types, even those with sensitive or allergic reactions to wax.

Less Messy: Sugaring typically creates less mess compared to waxing, as the paste is less sticky and doesn't drip like wax can.

These benefits make sugaring a popular and effective method of hair removal for many people.
