The subjugation of unwanted hair on the skin, pleasantly to sight is well many clients don’t have ever enjoyed a positive painless experience. People fear the rip of hair along with the strips. Whether this is your first time waxing or its rather your tenth time going through the procedure there are ways to make the event less painful. Thus, here are suggestions that will leave you contented after the waxing process is complete.
The Concept of Waxing.
Before going ahead with the tips it is critical to note the meaning of waxing. This process consists of spreading the hot emitted wax onto the desired part of the skin which is also hairy. Then the cloth strip is pressed on the em of the wax and in less than a second pulled off where the hair was-tornt off from the skin. While this approach may bring weeks of silken skin such pulling motion isn’t friendly. Knowing the procedure helps to prepare one psychologically for the experience.
Pick The Right Day
It is very important to wax at the right time. Your skin may turn out to be quite sensitive at certain periods of the month more so when most women experience the monthly cycle. It would be better to book your appointment after these monthly periods when one is believed to experience less pain. Also, do not plan your next waxing session when feeling exhausted and worn out because it will only make you feel more pain.
Exfoliate in Advance
Slightly changing and exfoliating your skin at least a day or two to the waxing session, will ease the discomfort. This reduces the chance of developing in-growing hairs by removing dead cells so that wax sticks to the hair rather than to the skin. Use a light scrub or an exfoliating glove to get your skin ready without injury. However, one must be cautious not to scrub their skin too hard as this may cause sensitivity.
Rehydrate Your Skin
People with moisturised skin are less likely to be irritated, therefore, apply skin lotion continuously on your skin for successive days before the waxing date. Use lotion or oil that is rich in nutrients in order to maintain the elasticity of the skin. On the waxing day stay off thick creams but make sure that the skin has been hydrated well before that.
Seize a Pain Killer
If you are one of those who have a low pain tolerance, it is advisable to take painkiller an hour or thirty minutes prior to your meeting. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen are effective at alleviating the signs and basic symptoms and as a preventative measure in the post-waxing inflammation. In any case, please talk to your clinician about any concerns related to medications.
Tell Your Esthetician How You Feel
For those looking to use the services of a waxing salon, don’t hesitate to voice your concerns with your esthetician. If you have painful experiences earlier, or if you are sensitive, let them know. With the skill, an esthetician can change the method of waxing so that it is more desirable to the client. They can also help in understanding the procedure and after care tips when it comes to skin recovery.
Seek professional waxing
There are kits for people who would like to wax themselves at home without any help, but because of the availability of salon services, that has become a rare case. When it comes to waxing, these estheticians minimize inconveniences, the wax is put at the right consistency and the right temperature. These professionals also possess the ability to remove hair promptly and with less pain making the process more bearable. However, if you have never waxed before, the clinician may assist you on how this is done as well as how the skin will be treated.
Take a Deep Breath
Pain management should always begin at the mind stage when it comes to any waxing procedure. Sometimes slow and deep abdominal breathing may help in coordinating and getting over the pain sensations. You might find it useful to use imagery techniques or even some degree of mindfulness, so that the pain is mostly out of mind. It helps to remind oneself of this – that the feeling is transient and that breath focus significantly improves the overall experience.
After waxing
When it comes to waxing we took all precautions so as not to hurt the skin but what happens after the waxing session as post care measures is very important. A soothing lotion, or aloe vera gel, should be used to address any skin redness or pain experienced after the hard waxing procedure. Do not engage in activities such as hot baths, sauna, or vigorous exercise for at least the first 24 hours as these may irritate the area. In the same case of sun department, avoid skin and other active skin chemicals for the first few hours after waxing.
