6Cold compress for extra sensitive skin
If you are a first timer, then basically you have a sensitive skin. You can ask your esthetician for a cold compress. It can be something like cold water right after wax, or if you are in a upscale or hi-fi salon, then they might have rose water toner available too.
7Stop shaving when started waxing
Shaving can make hair grow back more dense. Once you have started waxing then you have to be committed to it. When the hair starts growing back it won’t grow back that thick, which means further waxing can be less painful. Maybe sometimes the first time of waxing won’t be perfect but, first wax can take off hairs long enough at that point in time during a particular growing cycle and by the time of your fourth wax without shaving all the hair will be growing in the same cycle and pattern, which can also mean you might have a super smooth skin you want.
8Have a realistic expectation
Unless you visit the salon, it is sometimes becomes difficult to get a perfect full leg or a Brazilian wax. However, at-home strips can be good for face and smaller areas like lip and chin. You can heat the strips with a blow dryer to get an ideal temperature.
9Protect yourself for twenty four hours
Sometimes body lotion that consists of alpha hydroxy acids that can tingle and burn, also a tanning bed or direct sun exposure can feel nothing but more irritation. Freshly waxed skin is more likely to burn faster. So try to be extra careful for twenty four hours after waxing.
10Never wax during that time of the month
Out body becomes super sensitive five days before the period starts till the end of the period. Try avoiding any waxing at this time of the month. But after the period you will become fine, in fact, some say that woman’s pain tolerance becomes higher after three to four days of her period.
