BEAUTY!!!...IMPT

i wanted to let you all know that if you are using any kind of acne med..like retin-a or proactiv around the time of your wedding..make sure you tell the people who are going to do your facial waxes..you will get burned very bad and bleed and it might not be able to be covered in makeup for pics

i had a stylist at work not ask a bride if she was on anything and she got burned really bad and is so mad that her pics you could see it

they always burn my eyebrows when they waxed them, I have very sensitive skin. I discovered threading and I like it MUCH better

Its not 100% sure it will happen...i waxed all the time when i was on proactiv...but anything concerning beauty and whatever you do you need to test out and do way before the wedding

Most of the time when they rip your skin its bc your are sweaty, you have to be completely dry...thats why they normally should put some baby powder on your skin before waxing

I wax every two weeks, plus like i said ive done it the whole time i used to be on proactiv...Plus trust me i have someone i trust 100% to make sure nothing bad like that happens to me, and before i try anything i know she will guide me, but thanks i know all about this my mom owned salons for years, obviously shes the one i was talking about that i trust lol

I just asked my mom and she said that retin-A micro definitely rips your skin but thats also bc that thing is super strong and burns your skin regardless...Proactiv i didnt have any bad experience with it, and like i said i waxed every two weeks...if you are going to use proactiv you should try it months before your wedding regardless and test all of this out

I wanna do laser! where have you lasered (am I using this term correctly?)? I heard it's expensive so I didn't bother checking it out

Re: BEAUTY!!!...IMPT

SOOO many people seem to get red afterwards, i never do, maybe VERY little for not even 5 mins...Hmmm wonder why that is...Does everyone put something on after, i never had any problems with waxing, no bumps, redness...One time my skin ripped but thats also bc it was over 100 degrees that day and i was sweating, so thats how i know about not waxing if you are sweaty...But maybe its what you put on after, it can help

It is more painful than waxing it hurts so badly but ever since I started I've actually gotten comments from strangers about how good my eyebrows look. This is coming from someone who used to have 1 thick one straight across her head (just picture Bert (bert and ernie) it wasn't pretty)

Well i know the lady who is doing it for me, and she just charges me $25 a session so i got real lucky...I wasnt even thinking of doing it and my mom was like why dont you let so and so do it, and she told me how much so i just said why not. I know she just started working somewhere in Soho now, but not sure where since i havent been able to go finish this crap

I'll get a little red for a few minutes after. But I started waxing at 12 so it's been over a decade. You'd think I wouldn't have any hair left!
