Waxing is a popular technique that helps in unwanted hair removal; it has this fearsome reputation of causing agonizing pain. There’s good news now for those who have suffered through painful waxing sessions in the past just to keep unwanted hair at bay; painless hair removal is possible now. Waxing can be virtually painless if you adopt the following techniques.
- Your nerves communicate the painful sensations to your body. Make sure they are numb before waxing. Take an aspirin or use a numbing spray about half an hour before you start. This helps a lot, particularly if you are getting a bikini wax.
- Use the kind of wax that is best suited to your skin type. The correct method of application is also essential. Get a professional to work on you. This will certainly alleviate pain in people with a low pain threshold.
- A warm shower just before waxing helps open your skin pores, thus eliminating hair follicles with minimum trouble.
- Use a good body scrub; this will help clear up dead skin cells and loosen hair follicles before waxing.
- Avoid harsh toners or astringents because they tighten skin pores and make hair follicles hold on more firmly to your skin.
- Avoid using ice for numbing your nerves; because ice, like astringents and toners, tightens skin pores instead of relaxing them. If you simply want to soothe waxed skin, try using an aloe-based aftershave gel instead.
- Reduce your intake of coffee or alcohol right before a waxing session. These stimulants make your skin more sensitive to pain.
- Waxing at home is a good idea only if you have been professionally trained for it. Don’t try it if you are confident about your waxing skills; you may end up hurting yourself.
