Threading vs Waxing for Sensitive Skin – Here’s the Lowdown

Got sensitive skin? Easily go red, rashy, or irritated? Yeah, waxing and your face might not be the besties you want them to be.

Let’s talk Threading vs. Waxing — and which works better for sensitive-skinned beauties. 💆‍♀️

THREADING: The Sensitive Skin Savior 🧵

Why it’s great:

• No chemicals, no heat, no harsh ingredients

• Only uses cotton thread

• More precise and gentle on the skin

• Less risk of breakouts or reactions

Threading is ideal if you:

• Get red or bumpy after waxing

• Are on acne meds or retinoids

• Have super fair or reactive skin

WAXING: Fast & Effective (But Not Always Gentle) 🕯️

Why people love it:

• It’s quick

• Removes hair and dead skin together

• Great for thicker brows and less reactive skin

BUT if you’ve got:

• Rosacea

• Eczema

• Active acne…it might be too much.

So What Should You Choose?

👉 Sensitive or acne-prone skin? Threading is your girl.

👉 Normal to resilient skin? Waxing might be totally fine for you.
