Everyone is different and what works for others may not work for you – so try them all out at different times to see which one works best for you!
Get Mental
The best thing you can do is to plan ahead. This will help you mentally prepare for the waxing and make sure your body is in the best shape for it. You can plan ahead by not shaving a couple of days before your wax appointment. This will allow your hair to grow long enough for the wax to grab onto but also short enough that it won’t break off as you rip the hair out. You should also make sure that you aren’t on your period. The blood flow will make the wax stick to your skin and cause unnecessary pain and discomfort. If you are on birth control, your period will be lighter, so you can get your wax done when you’re on your period.
Put your Private Packs on Ice before your appointment
After your wax putting a cold Private Pack on your vulva will immediately reduces the swelling and inflammation. Make sure and put your pad and the sleeve in the freezer 2-2.5 hours before your appointment so it will be ready for you when you get home.
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!
Exfoliating your skin before a Brazilian wax gets rid of any dead cells that might be clinging to your skin. It will also help to make the hair on your skin softer and easier to remove. It is best to exfoliate three days before your Brazilian wax appointment. This will give your skin enough time to heal and grow back stronger and smoother. You can exfoliate with a washcloth and body scrub or scrub your skin with a loofah. At a minimum, you should wash the area thoroughly with warm water and soap to remove any dead cells and bacteria that may be clinging to your skin.
Use a numbing cream!
Using a numbing cream before a Brazilian wax can greatly reduce any pain you may experience during the waxing process. There are many types of numbing cream available, so make sure you carefully read the directions before applying it to your skin! Some numbing creams need to be applied hours before you get your wax done, while others can be applied right before the waxing. Numbing creams come with a variety of different sensations. There are numbing gels, sprays, and creams that can be applied to any part of your body, including your bikini area!
Eat before your appointment!
This may sound silly, but it is actually a great tip! Eating a light meal or snack before your waxing appointment can help to calm your stomach and reduce any nausea you may be feeling. Most Brazilian waxing places will give you a paper gown to wear during your waxing appointment. This can be very uncomfortable and make you feel extremely self-conscious. Eating a light meal will give you something to do with your hands, so you won’t be as focused on what the technician is doing. It will also calm your stomach down so you can focus more on your breathing than on how uncomfortable you are.
Stay hydrated.
You should always stay hydrated, but especially before a Brazilian wax. When you get waxed, your skin is being pulled away from the root of your hair. This can cause a bit of irritation and drying. Drinking plenty of water will keep your skin hydrated and reduce any irritation from the waxing. If you are feeling extremely dehydrated, you can also drink some coconut water. Coconut water is known to hydrate the skin and reduce irritation.
Request a gentle waxing technician.
Not all waxing technicians are created equal. Some have more experience than others and some have more skill than others. If you feel like the waxing technician is being too rough with you, request a different technician. When you make your appointment, let the receptionist know that you want to see a gentle technician. They will make sure you get the best waxing experience possible and request that you be paired with someone who is more gentle.
