Brazilian Wax: Tips For Beginners

Lately, Brazilian wax has become the preference of many girls. It has come into vogue because of the comfort, experience and finish it offers. It is slightly different from traditional bikini wax as all the hair is removed from the front, back and between the inner pubic areas. However, the difference seems a little daunting for newbies. It makes one hesitate to go for the same as observed by home beauty services in Dubai, but no worries. Here are some easy tips for newbies opting for a Brazilian wax.

Be Clean

It is crucial for your body to be completely clean before waxing. One must eliminate all the bacteria and have a thorough shower, especially clean your intimate area. Also, carry intimate area wipes and wet wipes for cleansing your skin after reaching the salon, immediately before the wax.

Doing skincare

It is essential to ensure before your appointment to prevent ingrown hairs from appearing. Therefore to prep your skin for the waxing, it is advised to moisturize your skin well with lotions to loosen the dead skin cells and help release the hair follicles. Post waxing, it is vital to soothe the skin and prevent ingrown hairs. 

Timing it well

It is advised not to book your appointment for a Brazilian wax on or immediately around your periods or when you are menstruating because your skin is extremely sensitive at this time. Hence, you may not be able to seek all the comfort that Brazilian wax has to offer.

Growing your hair 

The perfect waxing length of hair is at ¼ inch, roughly the length of a rice grain. Any length shorter than this makes it impossible for the wax to grasp the hair, and therefore, the purpose fails. Any length longer than this is apt for waxing it or applying an electric razor. Brazilian wax is then advised to be done regularly in 3-4 weeks. Generally, the hair grows to such length in this time. 

The Aftercare

Post waxing, your skin is vulnerable and sensitive; therefore, one should avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes and instead wear loose clothing to prevent skin irritations and ingrown hairs. One must also refrain from exercising, hot baths and sauna for at least 48 hours after the wax. This helps in keeping pimples and other skin breakouts at bay too. 

Managing the pain

The experience of Brazilian wax ultimately depends on skin type and person to person. Also, some parts of the body are less comfortable getting this done than others. So the best thing one can do is to relax, soothe the mind and not worry. Still, if you are worried, you may also take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen beforehand. The pain subsides soon, and the effect of the wax lasts for 1-2 weeks, after which the hair growth resumes. 

Over the period, the more you will wax, the more you will get at ease with it. Your body will get accustomed to it; therefore, do not worry about the discomfort the first time. Brazilian wax is quick and highly effective, and regular doing makes the hair grow more refined and sparser. Thus, Brazilian wax makes you go carefree for weeks together, leaving you with smooth and supple skin.
