Beauty treatments… overwhelmed

I stared using retinol after recommendations dem this board. Loved it! However, as the treatment is getting stronger, it’s interfering with other treatments I have:

Hair removal: I used to use hair removal cream on my upper lip and chin. It was fine. It’s now stared to burn as my strength has gone up.

eyebrow waxing and tinting: also causing irritation as the strength has got stronger.

so I stop these things? Glamorous people must be anle
to remove their facial hair and tint their eyebrows and use retanols. I’m just a bit clueless! Any hints?

Retinol does make this skin more sensitive (please make sure you use a broad-spectrum SPF!). I usually don't use it for about 3/4 days after I've had my brows done.

Thanks so much for responding! How about before?
and how about hair removal?

Yes retinol will mean you need to stop eyebrow waxing and have your eyebrows threaded instead.

I found out the hard way 😫
