Yes. Avoid using active ingredients such as AHAs, BHAs, retinol, Tretinoin, or any other exfoliating acids for at least 5 days before your wax. If you're on Accutane or other strong acne medications, you will need to wait 6 months after finishing before getting waxed. These products can make your skin too sensitive and increase the the risk of skin lifting.

Some redness is completely normal and usually fades within a few hours. If your skin is more sensitive, it may last a bit longer — applying a cool compress or aloe gel afterward can help calm the area.

It is best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to a freshly waxed area to prevent irritation or clogged pores. 

I recommend getting your eyebrows waxed every 3 weeks to help maintain your shape and keep your brows looking clean and polished. 

Avoid heat, sweating, and exfoliating — both physical and chemical — for 5 days after your appointment to protect your skin. Keep the area clean and skip harsh products or makeup after. You can apply aloe or a soothing serum if needed.
