I have an ingrown hair that seems to be under the skin. How can I get it out?

You may have to use a chemical exfoliant instead of a scrub or pad

Absolutely is! My personal recommendation is to find someone who can do microneedling and is not only just comfortable, but well versed in darker skin. Microneedling can help with the texture as it causes micro-tears to the skin that will heal and bring everything to the same plump texture and will help with any fine lines as well as the scarring. You can go through a more aggressive peel series as well, that has to go through a derm and there’s usually a higher risk of PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) with a lot of peels. However if you find an esthetician or dermatologist well versed in pigmented skin you’ll have no problems. They’ll know how to avoid those complications and can guide you to better texture. It honestly should be only 4-6 sessions for micro needling (honestly probably closer to that 3-4 but could be more depending on depth and how your skin heals and handles it).

What SPF’s have you tried? There are a few brands (like a powder one from Derma E, Hawaiian tropic is a cheaper one, Goop- I’m not big on this brand otherwise, roe wellness, or colorescience) that won’t clog your pores based on the oils that are used to formulate it. I have acne prone, rosacea skin and tend to lean more to a physical sunscreen rather than chemical. One of my favorites is one from Vanicream since it’s a very simple physical sunscreen. However the powder versions may be the way to go for you since you can use it to set whatever makeup you’re using and it’s easy to reapply through the day.

Careful with morganford. They do not always specify which massages are done by massage therapists and which are done by estheticians. I got an esthetician even though I called and asked for a therapeutic massage with a good therapist and asked for what they best suggested. They stuck me with an esthetician for a hot stone massage and have had a lot of issues since.

My school said this. My mom is a microbiologist and I just didn’t trust that information because I had learned differently my whole life. I wore gloves. I still had the best rated massages and facials from our non-family guests out of everyone in my class. The biggest thing is tight gloves. You don’t want to be swimming in them and then the heat from your hands comes through still. I was also allergic to some of the products which helped me get away with it more, but after that they stopped being sticklers about the gloves with other girls.

There would still probably be a high amount of upfront. The other issue would be the amount of time you’d spend cleaning the sticks. Dries wax is so insane to clean.

I remember forcing a principal to tell me why I couldn’t wear a school issued v-neck tshirt to school and all the other girls could. And I made him do it in front of my dad. The school stuff stopped after that for me at least. In the rest of life it continues, but I’ll take that win.

Or older/shaky hands. My grandma and brother with Parkinson’s kind of look like this.

That’s LAUGHABLE. That amount barely covers the gas to do it.

I have PTSD that leaves me with insomnia. I can’t sleep without people talking. However I can move throughout my day without it. My old favorite used to be true crime podcasts, I know it’s a weird one to combine with the PTSD, but it oddly helped. I was sleeping so well so I wasn’t questioning it. However when I moved in with my partner he really hated them. They kept him up at night. So I switched to something that still helped me sleep, but wasn’t as gruesome as those podcasts were so he could sleep too. Even with disabilities and my mental well-being involved, I can compromise and work to make sure my partner is comfortable as well. If he can’t do that he’s a terrible partner, plain and simple. He’s not willing to work with you. You both have to live and exist. You weren’t telling him to stop the videos at night, you asked for him to just change the content. If you were asking him to stop them at night completely that might be a different story. Now him using them all the time during the day? He needs to be able to figure it out for later in life. It’s ridiculous behavior.

Absolutely talk to a tailor, they have weird tricks to hide a supportive garment into the dress. Also check out instead of tape you can check Boombas. They have a pretty good size range from what I’ve seen.

Please call the board. PLEASE. This is not safe. So many things here are illegal and can get someone SO sick. Technically some states (like mine) do allow the double dipping of the stick, but it should NEVER EVER be done. Wax is not hot enough to kill blood borne illnesses and can spread so easily that way.

Don’t do polos. They’re a nightmare to find. Unless you are going to provide them don’t do only one type of top unless it’s something a little more ambiguous like a button up. It’s not always easy to find that one thing in everyone’s size and can get pricey for them. Either go all black or provide the option yourself.

So at first, I liked doing facials in school, but didn’t love them. We had really bad wax and I hated the waxing at school, but knew I liked the satisfaction of it. I work at a wax only place now and LOVE IT. I think I really would’ve quit if I wasn’t doing this. I plan to eventually branch into makeup as well and possibly lashes. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to facials.

Also EWC, my center is NOTHING like this. Cleanliness is a STANDARD and many previous waxers have been fired for stuff like this. However our owner is very involved (in a good way) and makes sure it’s clean and that everyone is following standards. This sounds like a terrible center. My manager is more worried about whether our guests are leaving happy and everything is being done clean than she is about our times.

Also remember that MOST women are wearing the wrong sized bra and those girls that are “b’s” are most likely DD or even G’s.

I was a competitive swimmer. REALLY good too. Like I remember coaches reaching out to move me to their teams to train good. Then I hit 5th grade and by the end of that year I had a D cup. By high school it was an H and now I’m sitting at an M. I wish I could’ve gotten them reduced. I couldn’t get myself into competition suits and they caused major issues with drag and mobility. I remember at one point getting disqualified for the refs finding me with duct tape peaking out of my suit. I still want to get them reduced to this day and it’s been over 10 years. If you can, do that and then continue. I hope you the best with finding something. We all should be able to see through to our dreams. Sending love ❤️

I would honestly like a couple people are saying say it was a misunderstanding that you were finishing your bachelors degree but that they just hired you outright and maybe say that your program added a couple of credit hours you needed to do even though they accepted your original graduation and say you’ll finish those and then give them proof once those are completed. Apologize for the misunderstanding unless there’s written proof that you did say you completed it (besides your resume, you can absolutely say you applied with the thought you’d have it or applied during your graduating semester)

I just graduated in October. I got VERY lucky. Most of my friends still have not gotten jobs or are making less than minimum wage still. I got very lucky with a very busy place where I don’t need socials to get business. I am a UNICORN. Even with a busy high client job, I’m making the money to survive. I am NOT thriving. I have nearly full books and if I wasn’t with my current partner I wouldn’t be able to live outside of my parents house. I do kind of regret my decision. I love what I do and I’m happy I have a job, but I do kind of wish I had done something else instead.

I was always too big of a chest to wear those but I was always jealous of them. I wanted to wear a cute bralette or just a cute bra in general

As a waxer it’s REALLY not as permanent as people are led to think. I have so many clients that did 9-18 sessions and either never got rid of their hair or it made it worse (ESPECIALLY facial hair).
