Prep

Taking a shower the day of your waxing is highly encourages with particular attention paid to the area in question. Personal hygiene is a must and will make the esthetician’s job a bit easier too. Clip your pubic hair down to 1/4 inch in length. This allows an easy removal and that will cause less discomfort. Don’t shave it down to nothing because at the shorter lengths the hair is very stiff and difficult to remove.

Hints

To reduce pain and/or redness take two anti-inflammatory caplets and antacids about one hour before appointment. You may use a gentle antiseptic or witch hazel to prevent breakouts occurred previously so they will not apply an oily cream after hair removal. For excessive discomfort or redness use an antibiotic ointment with pain reliever in it and keep the area moist or use a pure aloe vera gel, ice and cold compression. For dry skin, moisturizing before hair removal is recommended. However, breakout prone clients should use an antiseptic or antibiotic ointment.
