Question for those who use a retinoid AND get their eyebrows waxed. Do you stop using the retinoid before a wax? If so, how long do you stop using it beforehand to avoid reactions? I could always get them threaded, but in my experience that hurts more.
My first time getting a brow wax on tretinoin didn’t go well! Scarring. The next time went pretty smooth, but not perfect, and I stopped applying it for 2 days.

Are there any WOC here that have gotten Botox? If so, what age did you start? And would you recommend

Hi ,

Can anyone suggest about fitment round .

Happy Black History Everyone, let's make this a truly historic month!!

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?
