Waxing Before the Wedding

Men are supposed to be hairy beasts. Women? Not so much! Unfortunately, women do have plenty of unwanted facial hair to contend with and waxing is a great way to remove it. However, it's wise to be strategic when scheduling your pre-wedding appointment to get waxed. Schedule it way before you get hitched and you'll be sprouting fuzz left and right as you walk down the aisle. Schedule it too close to your nuptuals, and you may have to deal with some rather unpleasant side effects. These side effects can be so brutal, they'll make you wish you kept your mustache!

There really is only one positive result of waxing...clean, hairless skin. The negative results can include bumps, bruising, skin removal, blemishes, unsightly ingrown hairs, redness, and swelling. It's crucial to gently exfoliate the skin the day before you get waxed and only allow wax to be applied to clean skin. For best results, have several waxing appointments long before your wedding date to see how your skin reacts to this method of facial hair removal. If your skin is too sensitive for waxing, there are plenty of other options, including bleaching and depilatories. These procedures can have their own bothersome side effects, so test out several methods of hair removal before settling on one that works for you.
