Got an upcoming waxing appointment? It’s time to press pause on the retinols. We know you love your retinol-based formulas – after all, they do wonders when it comes to turning back the clock for your skin. Retinol body treatments and lotions may be all the hype right now, but it’s best to avoid them for at least a week leading up to the waxing. This active can sensitise your skin and lead to irritation after your session. Stick to your good ol’ hydrating lotions and creams instead.
