If you don’t normally moisturize your elbows, don’t start the day before your appointment. A new product or heavy moisturizer can sometimes cause irritation or small breakouts. If you want to moisturize the area, start well in advance.

Don’t shave or aggressively exfoliate the area yourself before the session. Come well-rested, well-fed, and hydrated, and I’ll shave and prepare the skin properly before we start.
