I will explain the relationship between sunburn and hair removal!

First of all, sunburn and hair removal do not go well together.

It is preferable to avoid sunburn as much as possible when undergoing hair removal!

The reason is that the light used in hair removal reacts to dark melanin pigments, so if your skin is tanned, the light will also react to the darkness of the melanin in your skin, preventing the heat from concentrating on the dark hair you want to target!

Therefore, people with fair skin tend to see better results in hair reduction!

Additionally, sunburn can make your skin more sensitive to light, which may cause some discomfort!

If you have a mild sunburn, you can continue with hair removal, but if you get a severe sunburn the day before your appointment, your skin will be inflamed, and you will need to wait 2 weeks to a month for your skin to calm down before resuming hair removal.

After sun exposure, your skin will also become quite dry, so be sure to take care of your moisturizing!

If you find yourself in a situation where you might get sunburned, applying sunscreen, wearing a mask, or a hat, or taking some form of UV protection will be helpful!

I hope these tips on sun protection during the hair removal process are useful!
