5 Ways to Make Waxing Less Painful
- About a week before your period, you’re ultra-sensitive to pain so, wait on getting your wax until a couple of weeks later.
- Avoid exfoliation the day before your waxing appointment. Exfoliation can irritate the skin.
- Wear loose fitting underwear and clothing so that you avoid irritating the waxed skin.
- Try taking a couple of pain relievers like ibuprofen before your appointment – this will help control the pain and reduce potential inflammation.
- Skip the lotion. Get your wax with clean, dry skin free of oils that can clog pores.
