While the bush may have been back last Summer its revival has been short lived. Prepare for landing as all things Brazillian are having a major come back.
To ensure maximum comfort during your wax there are a few tips and tricks you can do before and after to get the best results.
Tip 1 Exfoliate. The day before you plan to get waxed, exfoliate in the shower, try Lycon's Anti-Bump foaming gel (€15.00). This will remove any layer of dead skin allowing the wax to grip better to short hairs.
Tip 2 Plan to wax after your period. You're more sensitive to pain on the run up and during your period. Do yourself a favour and get a wax the week after, your pain threshold is much higher.
Tip 3 Take and over the counter pain reliever. About an hour before your appointment take a Paracetamol or similar to take the edge off.
Tip 4 Breathe. Sounds simple but many of us hold our breath when getting waxed. Breathing in and out helps reduce the pain.
Tip 5 Cough. When the therapist is about to pull off the wax turn your head and cough, it distracts you from the pain.
Tip 6 Apply a cooling, soothing after lotion such as tea tree lotion, it's antiseptic properties will help stop any inflamed bumps.
Tip 7 Wear loose fitting clothes, so no skinny jeans or thongs ladies, friction will cause ingrown hairs and bumps. Try Hair on Strike to reduce hair growth and minimize any lumps and bumps (€12.50).
