- Lightly exfoliate the area 24 to 48 hours before.
- Skin is more sensitive during your period, but waxing can still be done.

- Not recommended over varicose veins or phlebitis, rosacea, sunburn or cold sores.
- Wait 7 to 14 days after a chemical peel, laser resurfacing, Botox or collagen injections, and 6 months after cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.
