Can I sugar if I use retinol or other exfoliating products?
Yes, you can receive sugaring services, but proper preparation is essential. Discontinue use of retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other exfoliating products 3-5 days before your sugaring appointment to avoid skin sensitivity, potential irritation, or damage. These products thin the skin's surface, making it more vulnerable during hair removal.
Unlike traditional waxing, sugaring is gentler on sensitive skin, but pre-treatment care remains crucial for optimal results. The natural sugar paste used in brazilian sugaring and regular sugaring treatments adheres only to hair, not live skin cells, reducing trauma compared to brazilian waxing or conventional waxing methods.
