You love having soft, clear, and seamless skin without hair, but achieving that result is equally painful—especially waxing. Shaving is an excellent alternative, but you need to do it often. If not, the hair gets stubble. Which is why you might opt to wax. We all know that our skin is a sensitive part that reacts and reflects quicker than we think. Waxing is painful! But some tricks and techniques might give a very comfortable waxing experience—painless wax is real!

Let's reveal the top secrets of waxing 

Have you seen cosmetologists use some directions where customers react like no pain? This is because they know certain techniques of proper waxing. Now you are gonna learn them so that you will never feel pain again. Follow these steps:

1. Prepping your skin the right way

• Exfoliate the skin one day before waxing. This scrubbing helps the skin to shed dead skin cells and prevents ingrown hairs.

• Well-hydrated skin makes waxing smoother and less painful

2. Choosing the proper wax for your skin

The three main waxes that you can vary in appropriate to your skin.

• Hard wax and soft wax: This hard wax is best for sensitive skin because it sticks to the facial hair and peels off when pulled off. Soft wax sometimes irritates your skin if it is not properly used.

• Natural wax: melting sugar like caramel and adding honey and lemon works like magic, and this is one of the most commonly used DIY 

3. Pain-relieving techniques after the wax

   After waxing, it is important to apply ice cubes, numbing cream, and clove oil, which reduces discomfort caused due to waxing. This instantly reduces half of the damage to the skin.

4. Proper waxing methods

   Apply wax in the hair growth direction and pull it quickly in the opposite direction once it dries out. Holding the skin tightly reduces 60% of the pain.
   

5. Smoother wax

Using baby powder absorbs excess oil and prevents irritation and redness

6. Post-waxing care 

Apply suitable moisturizer or aloe vera gel, which helps to hydrate the skin and avoid certain damage.

Avoid common waxing mistakes 

• Do not wax over the same area repeatedly, as it causes skin irritation

• Never wax on unhealed skin, and this may lead to severe conditions

• Do not scrub or massage over the waxed area, because this exfoliant triggers the skin and this might end up in acne or an allergy.

Some common mistakes in wrong waxing

• Using very low-quality wax may result in a poor and painful experience as it further triggers and damages the skin.

• Pulling the hair in the wrong direction from the roots can also be very painful.

Home remedies to get rid of irritation and pain

• Apply aloe vera gel in the waxed area as it cools down the skin 

• Coconut oil has a hydrating agent that soothes the affected area.

• Cucumber gel or extract can also be applicable in that it has cooling effects and prevents irritation.

Waxing can be painless when the directions are followed correctly. It can sometimes go wrong when we fail to adopt the correct method to do it. Hope this blog helps you find the best tricks and methods that you have been seeking for ages.
