How can I make waxing less painful?

Question

Besides taking advil prior.

Answer 1

Are you talking bikini area? If so...hard wax is less painful than soft wax with linen strips. Always use a prep oil so the wax adheres only to the hair and not the skin. This alone will decrease the pain. Rubbing the area with pressure immediately after the hair is removed and numbing spray also helps. Have it done in a reputable place and all these things will be applied to help you have as positive an experience as possible. Remember to always follow up with some skin calming cream. Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Thread instead!
Find an Indian shop, or a place like that, from the Near East.
They're AWESOME!
What happens is, there's these two threads that first get wrapped around a line of hair.
The bulb at the bottom of the hair (follicle) gets pulled ever so slightly to the surface of the skin before they pull it out.
That moment of pore-stretching not only reduces the PAIN, but also the INJURY to the skin.
The pores are more elastic that way,
and go back to normal instead of going into shock.
So when they return to normal, there's less chance of infection by acne bacteria, etc.
And you don't break out as much, if at all, as you do with waxing!
Good luck!
