    I am doing all of my waxing on Thursday before our Saturday ceremony. I would suggest giving your ST a few days (2-3) just in case there are any hiccups with it. You are getting married the day before me! 99 days to go for you! Smiley smile

    If you get waxed and a spray tan just make sure you don't do it on the same day. I would suggest waxing first, and then the next day or the day after you can get your spray tan. If you do them the same day, the spray tan will settle into your pores (making those ugly little dots) and it will also clog your pores, making nasty ingrown hairs.

    @Bee...lucky duck! I just burn in blotches so I'm desperately trying to remember to slather on the sunscreen this summer as my dress is strapless.

    Have you waxed before? My person recommends doing it twice before the wedding so they can grab any ingrown hairs. So she recommends 1.5 months before the wedding and then 3 days before.

    I would definitely get into the routine of waxing as soon as you can. Your waxer/esthetician should offer your products and preventative care to maintain and treat ingrown hairs.

    You have to wax first. I would say at LEAST 48 hours before your spray tan.

    Also keep if you're getting a pedicure make sure you get it BEFORE the spray tan.

    I have to wait at least two days after my wax to spray tan so I don't get little dots on the hair follicle hole
