Common Risks:

• Redness and Sensitivity: Skin may appear red and feel sensitive immediately after a facial.

• Breakouts: Facial treatments can sometimes cause temporary breakouts as impurities are drawn to the surface.

• Dryness or Peeling: Certain facial treatments can lead to temporary dryness or peeling of the skin.

Less Common Risks:

• Allergic Reactions: Reactions to products used during the facial are possible.

• Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation: Changes in skin pigmentation can occur, though rare.

• Irritation from Exfoliation: Over-exfoliation can lead to irritation and damage the skin barrier.

• Eye Irritation: Products can sometimes cause irritation if they come into contact with the eyes.

Common Risks:

• Redness and Irritation: Temporary redness and minor skin irritation are common immediately after waxing.

• Pain: Waxing involves pulling hair from the root, which can be painful, especially for sensitive areas.

• Ingrown Hairs: Hairs can become trapped under the skin as they grow back, leading to bumps and inflammation.

Less Common Risks:

• Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to the wax or pre/post-waxing products.

• Burns: Wax that is too hot can cause burns.

• Folliculitis: Inflammation of hair follicles, leading to small, red bumps.

• Hyperpigmentation: Darkening of the skin in the waxed area, especially with repeated waxing and sun exposure.

• Skin Lifting: In rare cases, waxing can lift the top layer of skin, especially when using certain medications or having thin skin.

Common Risks:

• Skin Staining: The dye can temporarily stain the skin around the eyebrows.

• Slight Irritation: Mild redness or itching around the eyebrows.

Less Common Risks:

• Allergic Reactions: Allergic reactions to the dye are possible, causing swelling, itching, and redness.

• Eye Irritation: Dye coming into contact with the eyes can cause burning, stinging, or vision changes (seek medical attention immediately).

• Skin Irritation and Redness: The chemicals used in the lamination process can irritate the skin around the eyebrows, causing redness, itching, or burning.

• Hair Damage: The chemicals can weaken and damage eyebrow hairs, leading to breakage or thinning.

• Hair Loss: In rare cases, eyebrow lamination can cause hair loss.

Skincare and nutrition coaching can be a powerful way to learn about products and habits that may support healthier-looking skin. However, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks involved so that expectations are clear and decisions are made with confidence. The goal of coaching is to guide and support—not to replace professional medical care.

1. Reactions to Skincare Products

• Allergies and Sensitivities: Even gentle or natural products can sometimes cause irritation, redness, or breakouts depending on individual skin types.

• Existing Skin Conditions: If you have conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, certain products may trigger flare-ups.

• Overuse or Misuse: Using too many products at once or applying them incorrectly can damage the skin barrier and lead to dryness or sensitivity.

2. Risks with Nutrition Guidance

• Nutrient Imbalances: Making big changes to your diet without medical oversight can sometimes lead to missing out on important vitamins or minerals.

• Digestive Discomfort: Shifting eating habits too quickly may cause bloating or other digestive issues.

• Medical Considerations: If you have health conditions such as diabetes, food allergies, or digestive disorders, you may need specialized advice from a licensed healthcare provider.

3. Coaching vs. Medical Advice

• Not a Replacement for Doctors: Coaching is meant to provide guidance and support, but it is not the same as medical treatment. For serious skin or health concerns, a dermatologist or dietitian should be consulted.

• Results Vary: Skin health is influenced by many factors, including genetics, hormones, and lifestyle. Coaching can help, but results will look different for everyone.

• Clear Boundaries: Coaching advice should never be mistaken for medical prescriptions or treatments.

4. Emotional and Lifestyle Considerations

• Expectations: Improvements in skin health take time, and results may not be immediate.

• Stress Around Routines: Following strict skincare or nutrition routines can sometimes feel overwhelming.

• Body Image: While the focus is on supporting healthier skin, it’s important to avoid placing too much pressure on appearance.

5. Transparency and Safety

• Product Recommendations: Any product suggestions are based on knowledge and experience, but it’s important to remember that not every product works the same for every person.

• Client Choice: You are always in control of your decisions. Coaching is about guidance, not pressure.

• Encouragement to Seek Professional Help: If a concern goes beyond general skincare or nutrition support, seeking medical advice is always the safest option.
