Q: Don't book a waxing appointment until you haven't waxed for at least one to two weeks. Ideally, you should have 1/4 inch (.635 cm) of hair in the area you want to wax. Waxing will be more painless and effective if you wait long enough to wax. The exception to this is fine hair, like women's facial hair. Fine hair can be shorter, but try to grow it out for several weeks beforehand. Sensitive skin does not make for a pleasant waxing experience. The best time to wax is a week after your menstrual cycle, when your pain threshold is highest. Do not schedule an appointment during your time of the month. Also, do not schedule an appointment just before or after a day you plan to spend lots of time outside. If you get a sunburn, freshly waxed skin will be painful. Avoid scheduling an appointment right before a special event, vacation, or photoshoot. Skin reacts differently to waxing, especially the first time. Your skin may experience redness, bruising, or irritation. Try waxing for the first time weeks before a special event so you know what to expect. If you experience skin irritation after waxing, you can prevent it in the future by applying a layer of coconut oil, baby powder, or a soothing lotion right after you wax. When you have found a professional esthetician, tell them about any allergies or skin sensitivities prior to the appointment. Your waxer can then choose a wax type appropriate for your skin type to avoid skin irritation.  If this is your first time waxing, let your esthetician know. They can tell you how to prepare for your specific treatment.  Tell your esthetician about any skin creams you use as well, as this can affect your skin sensitivity. Because skin wax can contain chemicals irritable to the skin, ask for an allergy patch test from your doctor or dermatologist. You will want to know how your skin might react if this is your first waxing session. Let your esthetician know if you react to a certain chemical or fragrance. Allergy tests can take up to several days to display irritation, so schedule your test well in advance.
A: Let your hair grow. Avoid waxing when your skin is sensitive. Do not wax for the first time before a special occasion. Talk to your esthetician before the appointment. Schedule an allergy patch test before you wax.

Q: Make attempts to manage and reduce stress in your life. Sources of stress might include having a lot to do with work, school, or taking care of someone else. Identify what you have control over, which is usually just your reaction to the stress. Practicing relaxation techniques will increase energy, motivation, and productivity. Some simple techniques to reduce stress include:  Taking 5-30 minutes every morning for meditation or morning pages. Using imagery by finding a quiet spot, closing your eyes, and using all of your senses to imagine a deeply relaxing and peaceful scene. Imagine a space that's meaningful and calming for you. Trying progressive muscle relaxation, where you alternatively tense and relax the muscles throughout your body. Practicing deep breathing. Trying tai-chi or yoga. Keeping a journal. Taking a hot bath or shower. Spend time with friends, family, and others who make you feel good about yourself. Choose people who respect your needs and boundaries. Make sure the people you spend time with are considerate, reliable, and supportive of your goals. Avoid people who drain you, belittle you, or stress you out. It's important to make time for fun and leisure, especially when you're stressed. Remember to engage in a variety of things for fun and involve other people. Try one of these ideas:  Have a date night once a week with your spouse or with your friends.  Re-read a favorite book. Watch a favorite movie. Find a hobby to enjoy. Listen to peaceful music. Buy an adult coloring book. Know when you're feeling overwhelmed and don't be afraid to seek professional help. Needing to talk to somebody doesn't make you broken, it makes you human. Put effort into finding somebody you can trust and connect with. If you're not able to form a relationship with your therapist, the arrangement won't be beneficial. Counseling is beneficial to self-care because it:  Gives you a safe place to talk and process. Helps you deal better with daily stressors and worries. Allows you to get an objective opinion. Encourages you to live a better life. Encourage and validate yourself by saying something affirming to yourself. Pick a phrase or saying that's positive, personal, powerful, and precise. Some examples you can try:  “I can do this.” “I believe in myself.” “I love and accept myself.” “I am doing my best.” “This too shall pass.”
A: Manage stress. Surround yourself with supportive people. Make time for fun. Consider counseling. Give yourself affirmations.
