No. If you have dry or sensitive skin you should avoid face waxing because it could make your symptoms worse. Other side effects you may experience – whatever your skin type – are pain, redness, and irritation. You may also experience a rash, ingrown hairs, temporary bumps, bleeding, infection, scarring, allergies, and sensitivity to the sun.

Most people can safely have face waxing, though those on certain medications (such as retinoids), with active breakouts, or with very sensitive skin should consult with a therapist first. Threading may be a gentler alternative for very sensitive skin.

Your face waxing technician will prepare the wax for your treatment – they’re likely to use either hard or soft wax. Once it’s ready, they’ll apply it to the area(s) on your face you want treated, then swiftly remove it in the opposite direction of your hair’s growth, plucking the hair out from the roots.

Face waxing typically lasts 3–5 weeks. Regular appointments help slow regrowth over time, and many people find hair grows back finer with repeated treatments.
