5 TIMES YOU SHOULD NOT THREAD OR WAX

5 TIMES YOU SHOULD NOT THREAD OR WAX Were all
for threadingand already explained why its a
safe, fast, and effective method of hair
removal. The same goes for sugaring waxing, the
natural technique of removing unwanted hair with
just lemon, water, and sugar. But there are
certain times when your body will thank you for
postponing a threading or sugaring session,
especially if youre sensitive. HERE, FIVE RED
FLAGS TO WATCH OUT FOR YOU JUST HAD COFFEE. A
warm cuppa is nice as a morning pick-me-up, but
before a wax, the stimulants in caffeine can
amplify pain. If youre extra sensitive, most
definitely avoid coffee 24 hours before getting
threading or waxing, says Beauty By Dollys
Director of Operations Expansion Natashah
Torki. After workand after a workoutis
ideal. YOU JUST HAD A MIMOSA. Alcohol has a
similar effect as caffeine on your pain levels.
The stimulants in wine, beer, and cocktails can
make you feel that eyebrow threading sensation
more acutely. Save that Prosecco for
post-threading. YOURE UNDER THE WEATHER. Your
whole body is often more sensitive when youre
sick, so we recommend no threading or sugaring
until youre feeling better, Torki says. And if
you have a cold sore, stay away from threading
or sugaring around your lip until it fully
heals. YOURE ON YOUR PERIOD. Between the
cramps, bloating, and headaches, we dont need to
tell you that your body is extra responsive to
stimuli during that time of the month. The same
goes for threadingwhile its perfectly fine to
get threading or waxing in your bikini or other
areas when youre on your period, keep in mind
that it might be more painful.

YOU DIDNT SLEEP ENOUGH LAST NIGHT. A lack of
sleeplike a late night out with friends or a
work project that has you burning the midnight
oilmakes the body more sensitive. Catch some
zzzs, then book your appointment.
