Let's face it: waxing is really painful - especially if it's your first time. Fear not, though! There are a few ways to make bikini waxing less painful.
From growing pubic hair to dietary changes, a few small lifestyle adjustments can seriously reduce your pain. There are also plenty of products you can use to make at-home maintenance easier and, in turn, make your monthly waxing appointments more comfortable.
For example, did you know that you should exfoliate before and after waxing? And that there are chemical exfoliants specifically designed for use on your most sensitive areas?
Believe it or not, the pre-waxing process is just as important as the aftercare to ensure an easy experience.
There are a few key steps to follow before booking an appointment with your esthetician.
It's important to make sure your hair is long enough. Experts say it should be "the length of a grain of rice" and that you should never cut it if you think it's too long.
You need to moisturize your skin: The best way to prepare is to cleanse and moisturize your skin routinely. Consider a cream or body oil.
Exfoliation is also essential before waxing. The day before waxing, you should do a body scrub to remove dead skin cells, because hair can grow into the skin otherwise.
How to reduce pain: Consider a painkiller
It is best to take a painkiller two hours before waxing.
This will help reduce skin inflammation and help with any pain.
