How To Help With Waxing Pain

Not sure how to help with waxing pain? I can help!

We all know that getting waxed isn’t the most fun thing to do. So how can you help deal with the pain you endure while getting waxed?

There are multiple things you can do to help make your waxing experience more comfortable.

You can take some kind of pain reliever like Ibuprofen or Tylenol. This will help minimize the pain during your waxing appointment. Be sure to take it at least an hour before the appointment to ensure it kicks in.

Don’t wax around your period (for bikini area waxes). Naturally, your bikini area is going to be more sensitive when you’re around or on your menstrual cycle. So if possible, it helps to avoid waxing during this time.

Stay on schedule. This is huge for waxing! Stick to a schedule and get waxed every 3-6 weeks. By staying on schedule, you’ll get your hair growth all on the same cycle so all the hair will come out at once, and you’ll stay smooth longer. Additionally, this will help you not be tempted to shave between waxing appointments which will royally screw up your waxing progress.

Don’t try to wax too early or too late. I recommend trying to stick to 3-6 weeks between waxing appointments. If you wax too early, the wax won’t be able to adhere to the hair properly and can’t pull the hair out which will hurt more. If you wax too late, the hair will be longer and you risk the wax getting stuck in the hair if it can’t reach the hair at the base.

Use a numbing cream. I’ve never personally used a numbing cream, but I’ve had clients use it and they swore by it. Just make sure you put it on early enough so it starts numbing you before the appointment starts.

Don’t drink alcohol and avoid caffeine. I know, it seems like taking a shot of alcohol would be hugely beneficial before your waxing appointment. I get it! However, alcohol and caffeine and stimulants which cause the skin to become more sensitive, thus more painful. Alcohol can also cause your pores to tighten which can make it harder for the wax to be removed from the hair follicle.

Exfoliate! One or two days before your appointment, make sure you exfoliate the area you are getting waxed. This can be as easy as using a wet cloth in the shower. Exfoliating will remove the dead skin cells on the outermost layer of the skin which helps the wax adhere to the hair better.

Talk during your appointment. Talking helps distract yourself! I have had some of the best conversations in my life while talking to my client as I’m waxing them. I have always felt that my clients are my family because of how well we get to know each other while I’m waxing them once a month. So don’t be shy, your waxer wants to talk to you too!
