Introduction
If you've ever experienced redness, irritation, or discomfort after waxing, chances are youโre not preparing your skin properly. A good pre-waxing routine can make the difference between a painful experience and a smooth, effective wax.
1. Exfoliation: The First Essential Step
Exfoliating your skin 24 hours before waxing helps remove dead skin cells, allowing the wax to adhere better to the hair rather than the skin.
๐น How to exfoliate properly:
โ Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating glove.
โ Massage in circular motions to stimulate the skin.
โ Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
2. Hydration (But in Moderation!)
Hydration is key, but avoid applying oily lotions before waxing as they can affect the wax's adhesion.
๐น Tip: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer the night before your waxing session.
3. Reduce Discomfort with a Numbing Spray
If youโre concerned about pain, apply Numbing Spray 5% Lidocaine Waxup 10-15 minutes before waxing. This product helps numb the skin, reducing sensitivity and making the experience much more comfortable.
๐น How to use it correctly:
โ Lightly spray over the area to be waxed.
โ Let it sit for a few minutes before starting.
โ Do not rub or wash off before applying wax.
4. Common Pre-Waxing Mistakes to Avoid
โ Waxing right after sun exposure.
โ Using alcohol-based products before waxing.
โ Waxing irritated or cut skin.
Conclusion
Preparing your skin properly reduces irritation and improves results. Exfoliate, hydrate, and use products like Numbing Spray 5% Lidocaine for a more comfortable waxing experience. Follow these steps, and your skin will be ready for a hassle-free wax!
