Don't Hit the Beach Without This Pre-Vacation Waxing Checklist

Vacation is coming — and your skin deserves to be ready. Whether you're heading to a tropical beach, a ski resort, or a European adventure, pre-vacation waxing ensures you arrive at your destination feeling confident, smooth, and completely carefree. Here's Wax Me Too's complete pre-vacation waxing checklist.

4–6 Weeks Before: Book Your Appointment

Don't wait until the last minute. Book your pre-vacation waxing appointment 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred esthetician and time slot. If this is your first wax, we strongly recommend doing a trial run well before your trip to see how your skin responds.

10 Days Before: Stop Shaving

Hair needs to be at least ¼ inch long for waxing to work effectively. Stop shaving at least 10 days before your appointment to ensure optimal hair length.

2–3 Days Before Your Appointment: Prepare Your Skin

• Exfoliate gently to remove dead skin cells
• Moisturize daily to keep skin hydrated
• Avoid retinol and AHA/BHA products on areas to be waxed

Day of Appointment

• Shower and cleanse the area
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol

After Your Appointment

• Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours
• Skip the pool or hot tub for 24 hours
• Pack SPF for freshly waxed areas
